There are more than 70 million seniors in the U.S. who are veterans of the armed forces. U.S. veterans and the spouses of veterans may qualify for Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits to help cover the cost of home care.
Assisting Hands Home Care is a VA care provider that offers home health care services for veterans and their spouses in Fort Worth, TX. Those who are eligible for VA benefits can use these benefits to cover long-term care and respite care from our licensed caregivers. If you or a loved one is a veteran of the armed forces and in need of home care, talk to our staff to learn more about how our VA programs can help.
Before receiving care through our VA care program, veterans must apply through the Department of Veterans Affairs to see if they qualify for VA benefits. Those who do can use these benefits to help cover home care and respite care through our VA programs. Our caregivers provide quality care for veterans and their spouses including personal care and assistance as well as help around the house like meal preparation and transportation. You can expect our caregivers to always treat your loved ones with compassion and respect while accommodating their care needs.
