Across the United States, there are nearly 19 million veterans aged 18 and older, with about 13 million over the age of 50 according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. As veterans age, many continue to value independence and prefer to remain in the comfort of their own homes. However, daily tasks can become more challenging over time, creating a need for dependable in-home support.

At Family Resource Home Care, we are honored to provide compassionate in-home care for veterans and their families designed to promote safety, dignity, and independence. Many veterans also have access to benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which may help cover the cost of home care services depending on eligibility.

Understanding VA In-Home Care Benefits

Many veterans may qualify for programs that help pay for in-home care, including:

  • VA Community Care Network (CCN)
  • Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit
  • Housebound Allowance

These programs are designed to help eligible veterans and surviving spouses access the care they need to remain safely at home. Eligibility is determined by the VA, and benefits vary based on service history, medical needs, and financial criteria.

Our Veteran Outreach team at Family Resource Home Care can help guide families through the process of understanding potential eligibility and next steps.

Dedicated Veterans Outreach Support

At Family Resource Home Care, we are proud to have a dedicated Veterans Outreach Team focused specifically on supporting veterans and their families through every step of the home care process. We understand that navigating VA benefits can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to determine eligibility, complete applications, and coordinate services.

That is why our Veterans Outreach Team provides hands-on, personalized assistance at no cost to the veteran or family.

Our team helps by:

  • Reviewing potential eligibility for VA in-home care programs
  • Guiding step-by-step through the application process
  • Helping complete and organize required VA paperwork
  • Coordinating directly with the VA

This dedicated support helps remove barriers so veterans can access the care they have earned without unnecessary stress or confusion.

Most importantly, this service is completely free of charge. There are no fees for eligibility checks, application assistance, or outreach support. Our goal is simply to ensure veterans and their families can confidently access the benefits and in-home care services available to them. Our Veteran Outreach team can be reached at 800-775-6380 and vets@familyrhc.com.

Support for Veterans and Their Spouses

In many households, a spouse or family member becomes the primary caregiver. While this role is often filled with love and dedication, it can also become physically and emotionally demanding.

In-home caregivers provide essential respite and support by:

  • Giving family caregivers time to rest and recharge
  • Assisting with daily care routines
  • Supporting safety and supervision
  • Offering companionship and emotional support

Whether care is needed daily or only occasionally, professional caregivers help ease the burden on families while ensuring veterans receive consistent, respectful care.

In-Home Care Services for Veterans

Care plans are personalized based on each veteran’s needs, preferences, and level of independence. Services may include both daily living support and more complex care assistance.

Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

ADLs are essential self-care tasks that may become difficult with age, illness, or injury. Caregivers can help with:

  • Mobility support to reduce fall risks and prevent pressure injuries
  • Bathing and personal hygiene assistance
  • Dressing and grooming support
  • Meal preparation and hydration reminders to ensure proper nutrition
  • Toileting and bathroom safety assistance

These services help veterans maintain dignity while staying safe and comfortable at home.

Assistance with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)

IADLs are everyday tasks that support independent living. Caregivers may assist with:

  • Meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Medication reminders and routine organization
  • Technology setup to help veterans stay connected with loved ones
  • Transportation to medical appointments, errands, and social activities

These supports help veterans stay engaged, connected, and independent in their daily lives.
