In-Home Care Veterans Benefits

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.

How to Qualify?

To qualify for Veterans Benefits, seniors must:

Not have a dishonorable discharge
Have served at least 90 days on active duty
Have served at least one day during a period of war (as defined by the VA)
Be over age 65 or totally and permanently disabled
Meet specific financial criteria

What Is Covered

Depending on the qualifications and needs of the veteran, veterans benefits may cover all or a large portion of home care services. Even veterans who do not qualify to receive veterans benefits 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.

Benefits of Home Care

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.

Better Care Starts Here

Read how we are helping older adults live their best lives possible. Here is what clients say about their experience with our agency.

"July 9, 2019 by J.K."

"My caregiver is very good and takes great care of me. My problem with ComForCare is that it doesn’t have a replacement when my caregiver is not well or on vacation. Initially when I really needed help, the Agency couldn’t. It’s been more than a year and it still hasn’t found a replacement. The main reason to go with an Agency was to have a stress free life as depending on Private persons left me helpless. Shannon had said that she would have a replacement but that didn’t happen. I’m still grateful to have my caregiver."

"Luckily I have Patty, thus you & I really lucked out! The reason we stayed away from Individuals was that, you Shannon had said that you would send a replacement in case the person you assign couldn't make it. Only on the last occasion were you able to find a Replacement; however, we decided not to have one as that person would have had to be trained by us for every little thing.I would welcome a trainee who could watch Patty and learn. Other than that, I'm happy especially that you are prompt sending the Invoices timely. You may share my message but not my name or phone number. If you screen anybody, I'll call and talk to them about your Company, of course all the positive things happened to me.Even before I received this request, I referred your name to friends, unfortunately one passed away last month. If you have questions, call after the 15th after noon ONLY and leave a message if I don't answer.. I purposely didn't punctuate, as my following generation doesn't care & I'd be wasting my time. You asked for it, you got it.Thanks."
