Veteran Care & Benefits for Home Care and Adult Day Health Services
*MDC Healthcare is not part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the VA. We do not administer VA benefits. Our team provides information and guidance to help veterans and their families understand potential care options and resources that may be available to them.
VA Benefits That May Help Cover Care
One of the most common programs veterans use to help pay for care is the Aid and Attendance benefit.
This benefit provides additional monthly payments to eligible veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or mobility.
While the benefit is not paid directly to a care provider, the monthly funds can be used by families to cover the cost of a veteran’s care plan, including services like home support or adult day programs.
What the Aid and Attendance Benefit Can Help Cover
Veterans who qualify can use their benefits to help pay for:
In-Home Care
Support services that allow veterans to remain safely at home while receiving assistance with daily activities and personal care.
Adult Day Health Programs
Structured daytime care programs that provide supervision, activities, meals, and social engagement.
Adult Day Health Care programs are designed for veterans who need help during the day and can also provide respite support for family caregivers.
Many veterans use a combination of both services to maintain independence while receiving the care they need.
Who May Qualify for Veteran Care Benefits
Eligibility for VA care benefits generally depends on several factors, including:
-
Military service history
-
Wartime service requirements
-
Medical need for assistance with daily living
-
Financial eligibility guidelines
Veterans who require help with activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility may qualify for additional support through VA programs.
Surviving spouses of eligible veterans may also qualify for certain benefits.
