Understanding Home Care Benefits for Veterans

When it comes to Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), the Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care Benefit, offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), plays a crucial role in supporting the well-being and independence of eligible Veterans. 

Through this benefit, individuals receive essential assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and light housekeeping; not only do Veterans receive care and support in the comfort of their own homes, but they are also enabled to maintain their autonomy and continue living in their familiar environments while receiving the care they need.

Being an eligibility-based program, it is essential for Aging Services Professionals to understand how it works to better support clients' referral and care transition process.
