On Veterans Day—and every day—we’re proud to serve those who served. As a veteran-owned, locally operated home care agency based in Northern Utah, our mission is simple: deliver dependable, compassionate in-home support and make it easier for veterans and their families to access and use VA benefits for care at home.
At Assisting Hands Home Care (Davis & Weber Counties), we partner closely with the local VA clinic and community programs. Our VA advocate will sit down with you (in person or by phone), help you understand your options, and walk you through next steps—so you can focus on your loved one, not the paperwork.

VA Home Care Options We Help You Explore
Every veteran’s situation is unique, and eligibility depends on multiple factors. Our VA advocate helps you understand which programs may fit, including:
-
VA Homemaker/Home Health Aide (H/HHA): In-home personal care and help with daily activities, coordinated through the VA.
- Aid & Attendance (A&A): A pension add-on for eligible veterans and surviving spouses who need help with activities of daily living.
-
Respite & caregiver support: Options that can give family caregivers a needed break.
We’ll coordinate with your VA social worker or case manager, help gather documentation, and guide you through each step.
