    \nWhat Is Covered\n<\/h2>
    \n

    Depending on the qualifications and needs of the veteran, veterans\u00a0benefits may cover all or a large portion of home care services. Even veterans who do not qualify to receive veterans\u00a0benefits may be able to deduct the costs of home care when calculating regular pension benefits. This new countable income may allow families receiving no more than a pension to receive a disability income in addition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

    \nBenefits of Home Care\n<\/h2>
    \n

    Home care allows veterans to stay in the comfort of home while receiving assistance with many of the activities of daily living. This can ease the strain on crowded VA nursing homes and community living centers in the area. Receiving home care can also allow seniors with less critical medical needs to remain living more independently, visiting VA hospitals and facilities only when needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>
