The number of aging veterans across the country is steadily increasing, and a primary concern for many veterans and their families is the financial burden of at-home care.

If your loved one has served in the U.S. military, they may be eligible for financial assistance, including professional home care, provided they meet the following criteria:
Veterans in the U.S. may qualify for benefits through the Aid and Attendance or Community Care Network programs:
Veterans receiving a pension may qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits if they require assistance with daily activities, reside in a nursing home, are bedridden, or have impaired vision. Veterans with permanent disabilities who are confined to their homes may also qualify for “Housebound” benefits, which are typically added to their monthly pension and paid directly to the veteran.
Through the Community Care Network, veterans may receive assistance with home care costs. Qualified veterans are assigned a dedicated service care coordinator who determines the required weekly care hours and helps connect families with local caregivers. Unlike Aid and Attendance benefits, payments for Community Care Network benefits are made directly to partner organizations, such as Grace Hands Home Care.
At Grace Hands Home Care, we assist families of senior veterans with the application process for benefits. You can contact your local VA office for help completing and submitting the 10-10EZ form to the Veterans Administration. Veterans or their family members must provide identification and proof of military service, and additional documentation such as financial or medical records may be required. Our service coordinators are available to guide you through the process and provide detailed information on the necessary documents.
Since applying for veterans’ benefits can be a lengthy process, it’s best to start the application well before your loved one requires care. Early application can help avoid the financial strain of paying for care out-of-pocket while waiting for approval.
Grace Hands Home Care is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care for veterans. Our professional caregivers assist with personal care tasks such as grooming, bathing, dressing, toileting, light housekeeping, and meal preparation, ensuring that veterans age with dignity and comfort. As a non-medical home care agency, we also offer companionship, transportation, and respite care for family caregivers.
