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, specifically known as VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound Allowance. These benefits offer qualified veterans and their spouse’s funding options for a comprehensive array of in-home care services. To determine individual eligibility for these valuable veterans’ in-home care benefits, contact the Family Resource Home Care team for further verification and assistance.
