The staff of veterans at Veterans Home Care has an important Veterans Day message for aging veterans, and their families, who have served in World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam or the Gulf War, about a little known VA benefit to help cover medical and custodial care costs.
The VA benefit is a pension paid to veterans (or their surviving spouses) with an additional amount called œAid and Attendance to assist those who are disabled and need help to live safely at home.
The benefit can cover medical and custodial care costs up to $1,911 per month for a single veteran, up to $2,266 for a married veteran and up to $1,228 for a surviving spouse.
œMany are aware the VA compensates veterans who are injured or disabled as the result of military service. There's also a lesser-known VA pension for wartime veterans who do NOT have a service-connected disability. We want veteran families to know about both, says President and Retired Army Brigadier General Larry Kay, one of several veterans on the VHC team.
Veterans Home Care through its VetAssist Program, helps aging veterans and surviving spouses nationwide secure the Aid and Attendance pension. VetAssist connects a national network of 3,800+ home care agencies with eligible veterans and spouses who need an in-home caregiver.
Included are help with transportation, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping and personal care such as bathing, dressing and using the bathroom. VetAssist clients also receive the VetAssist Companion®, the latest medical alert system powered by Amazon Alexa® technology.
VetAssist can also arrange for adult day care. The cost of care is offset with the Aid and Attendance VA funds. There's never a charge for help with the VA application.
œEvery day is Veterans Day here at Veterans Home Care, says Kay. œWe are dedicated to helping our aging veteran brothers and sisters, and their families, who have given so much to our country to live a better life.
