Family Resource Home Care Provides Quality In-Home Care for Veterans
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 19 million veterans in the United States aged 18 and older, with around 13 million of them being 50 years or older. As these courageous individuals age, many express a strong desire to maintain their independence and remain in their own homes. However, over time, some may find themselves needing assistance with daily activities. Upon receiving an honorable discharge from active military service, veterans become eligible for a wide range of benefits, including healthcare and medical coverage, pension plans, life insurance, burial and memorial services, and many other valuable benefits.
Home Care Benefits for Veterans in Portland West
Veterans in Portland West may be eligible for VA in-home care benefits, such as the Community Care Network (CCN) or VA Aid and Attendance and Housebound Allowance. These benefits provide qualified veterans and their spouses with funding options for a wide range of in-home care services. To determine eligibility for these valuable benefits, including those offered through the CCN, contact the Family Resource Home Care team for assistance and verification.
Community Care Network (CCN) in Portland West
Veterans in Portland West can access in-home care services through the VA’s Community Care Network (CCN). The CCN connects the VA with community providers like Family Resource Home Care. The VA determines a veteran’s eligibility for home care benefits through the CCN program. Once enrolled, a referral is made to a VA case manager through the Homemaker/Home Health Aide Program (HHHA). An evaluation with the veteran is then conducted to determine the number of home care hours and create a personalized care plan.
This program allows veterans to receive care from community providers in partnership with the VA, ensuring timely and accessible support. The CCN works to expand veterans’ access to high-quality healthcare services, including in-home care, by combining VA benefits with community resources. Veterans interested in exploring their eligibility and accessing these services should contact Family Resource Home Care for detailed assistance and guidance.
