3 VA Benefit Programs that May Help Pay for In-Home Care in Ventura County<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have several options for VA in-home care Ventura County. Here we\u2019ve outlined the three most common VA care programs that our families utilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VA Homemaker Home Health Aide Program (H\/HHA)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The VA Homemaker\/Home Health Aide Program<\/a> is designed to maximize independence for veterans. It includes help with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, preparing meals, and attending appointments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ComForCare Calabasas is a VA-authorized in-home care provider with a strong reputation working with veterans. Depending on your location and clinical requirements, our level of support may vary \u2014 whether you need it daily, several times a week, or just occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care Example for the H\/HHA Program<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you currently need support during your bathing routine, an aide could come an hour every morning to ensure you\u2019re well-bathed and groomed \u2014 allowing you to maximize your independence the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or perhaps you\u2019re no longer able to drive and need occasional help getting to medical or personal care appointments. The H\/HHA program is a flexible option to meet your needs, while supporting your autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VA Family Caregiver Support Program (Home Respite Care)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caregiving is rewarding but also demanding. If you\u2019re taking care of a veteran, you may also qualify for VA Home Respite Care (as part of the larger Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC)<\/a>). This program allows you to take much-deserved time off to recover from caregiving tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding a VA in-network provider near you is the first step to schedule respite care. At ComForCare Calabasas, we serve veteran caregivers in Ventura County, Conejo Valley, and surrounding regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care Example for Home Respite<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Home respite care adjusts to every caregiver\u2019s busy schedule. Typically, it can be used for up to 30 days a year, in slots of up to 6 hours (day or night). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, some caregivers schedule respite care<\/a> the first day of every month, giving them the chance to catch up on errands. Others may take advantage of respite care to rest from responsibilities during a holiday weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VA Aid and Attendance (A&A) \u2014 Referral-only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VA Aid and Attendance benefits provide in-home help with daily activities to veterans and spouses who receive a VA pension and meet the clinical requirements for support. It\u2019s an added monthly payment that aids families in paying for home care locally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we don\u2019t administer A&A at ComForCare, we\u2019d be happy to get to know your needs and refer you to accredited resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care Example for A&A<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Families that receive A&A can use the supplement to hire home aides. It\u2019s most commonly scheduled for vital daily activities. For example, an aide may come every afternoon to help a loved one with limited mobility to eat lunch, use the bathroom, and transfer to the bed for a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
