Get Started!
If your loved one served in the U.S. military or is the spouse of a U.S. veteran, he or she may be eligible for home care services benefits through the Veterans Pension Benefit program. When searching for home care services, it is important to look into different ways to cover the costs of services. Having assistance covering home care costs can help ease the financial burden, sometimes making it possible for elders to receive care they would not be able to afford otherwise. If you believe your loved one may qualify for this pension benefit but are unsure, ComForCare can assist in the application process for the veterans program.
ComForCare South Jersey is honored to serve the men and women who served our country. Veterans home care benefits South Jersey families often don’t realize exist can mean quality in-home support at little to no out-of-pocket cost, once the right program and paperwork are in place.

ComForCare is an approved provider in the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network. If the VA authorizes caregiving services for a veteran, that veteran has the right to choose their own provider, and we’d be honored to be that choice.
VA Aid and Attendance pension care is a monthly pension benefit for veterans or surviving spouses who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Generally, a veteran needs at least 90 days of active duty, including one day during a recognized wartime period, along with income and asset limits. We work with your local Veteran Service Organization to guide the application.
Veteran senior care services families access through us often include Home Health Aide support and Unskilled Respite Care through VA health care enrollment, alongside our standard personal care services when a family caregiver needs additional support.
Families searching how to get free in-home care for veterans in New Jersey are usually surprised to learn how close they can get to that goal once VA Community Care Network authorization is in place, since the VA reimburses the agency directly for approved hours.
Expert insight
“Most veterans and their families don’t know Aid and Attendance exists until someone tells them. It’s not something the VA advertises well. My advice is always the same: ask early, even before you think you need it, because the paperwork takes time and the benefit is worth pursuing.”
Lydia Gibson, who leads ComForCare South Jersey with over 20 years of clinical experience
“ComForCare was recommended through a family friend and everyone on their team has been so professional and caring. They have been a great help with a family member and got him on a workable schedule immediately. They are very approachable and easy to communicate with. My family member is really enjoying their company.”
— Elizabeth Butterfield, verified client review
Does a veteran need a service-connected disability to qualify for VA home care benefits?
No. Many VA home care programs, including the Aid and Attendance pension, are based on wartime service dates and the need for help with daily activities rather than a combat injury. Veterans who served during recognized wartime periods may qualify even without a service-connected disability rating.
Can a surviving spouse of a veteran receive VA home care benefits in South Jersey?
Yes. Surviving spouses of wartime veterans may qualify for the VA Survivors Pension with Aid and Attendance. This benefit helps cover the cost of in-home personal care, bathing, dressing, and companionship after the veteran has passed away.
How does ComForCare South Jersey work with the VA?
ComForCare is an approved provider in the VA Community Care Network. Once the VA authorizes home care services for a veteran, you have the right to choose your agency—and ComForCare South Jersey will coordinate directly with your VA social worker and handle direct billing.
How long does VA benefit approval take, and can care start before then?
Approval timelines vary depending on documentation. While your application is being processed through your local Veteran Service Organization (VSO), ComForCare South Jersey can begin home care immediately using private pay or long-term care insurance, then adjust the billing once VA authorization is active.
What daily activities can a veteran home care caregiver assist with?
Our caregivers provide assistance with daily living activities including bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and friendly companionship to support veterans at home.
What if my veteran loved one doesn’t qualify for VA benefits?
If a veteran does not qualify for VA pensions or needs additional hours beyond VA authorization, ComForCare South Jersey accepts Long-Term Care Insurance and private payment options to ensure your family gets the care they need.
