How VA Benefits Can Help Pay for Home Care

VA benefits are designed to support the health, safety, and independence of qualified veterans. For those who wish to remain at home as they age, certain VA programs provide financial support for non medical home care services. These services may include:

● Assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming

● Meal planning and preparation

● Light housekeeping and laundry

● Medication reminders

● Companionship and emotional support

● Transportation to medical appointments

● Supervision and daily activity assistance

SYNERGY HomeCare of Smithfield works directly with families to match these services with the benefits offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Common VA Programs That May Cover Home Care

There are several VA benefit programs that may apply to in home care. We help families understand what is available and guide them through the process of getting started.

1. Aid and Attendance (A&A) Benefit

The Aid and Attendance benefit provides monthly payments to veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities. It is available to those who already qualify for a VA pension and meet specific care needs.

This benefit can help pay for in home care services provided by SYNERGY HomeCare and is one of the most common ways veterans receive support at home.

2. VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care

This program offers support through VA contracted home care agencies. Veterans who are enrolled in VA health care and meet eligibility criteria may receive part time assistance with activities of daily living from trained caregivers.

3. Respite Care for Family Caregivers

If a family member is caring for a veteran full time, the VA may provide funding for respite care. This gives family caregivers a break while ensuring the veteran continues to receive high quality support in the home.
