Veteran Care

Family Resource Home Care Provides Quality In-Home Care for Veterans

Based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the United States is home to approximately 19 million veterans aged 18 and above, of which around 13 million are aged 50 and older. As these valiant individuals grow older, they frequently express the desire to maintain their independence and reside in their own homes. Over time, however, many may find themselves in need of assistance with certain daily activities. Upon receiving an honorable discharge from active military service, veterans gain access to a wide array of benefits, including healthcare and medical coverage, pension plans, life insurance, burial and memorial services, and numerous other benefits.

Home Care Benefits for Veterans

Veterans may be eligible for VA in-home care benefits, known as Community Care Network (CCN) or VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound Allowance. These benefits offer qualified veterans and their spouses funding options for a comprehensive array of in-home care services. To determine individual eligibility for these valuable veterans’ in-home care benefits, including those available through the CCN, contact the Family Resource Home Care team for further verification and assistance.

Community Care Network (CCN)

Veterans can access in-home care services through the VA’s Community Care Network (CCN). The Community Care Network (CCN) serves as the direct link between the VA and community providers like Family Resource Home Care. The VA determines a veteran’s enrollment eligibility for home care benefits through the CCN program. Upon acceptance of enrollment in CCN, a referral is generated to a VA case manager through the Homemaker/Home Health Aide Program (HHHA), where an evaluation with the veteran will determine how many home care hours are allocated and what the care plan should be. This program enables veterans to receive care from community providers in collaboration with the VA to ensure timely and accessible support. The CCN aims to expand veterans’ access to high-quality healthcare services, including in-home care, by integrating community resources with VA benefits. Veterans interested in exploring their eligibility and accessing these services should contact Family Resource Home Care for detailed guidance and support.
