Many senior citizens in the U.S. have served in the U.S. armed forces and may be eligible for VA benefits<\/strong> that can help pay for home care.\u00a0 As the current generation of seniors reach a point where they need care and assistance in their daily lives, more are choosing to receive care at home instead of going to a nursing home or assisted living facility.\u00a0 Seniors who are eligible for VA benefits can use these benefits towards the cost of home care and respite care from Assisting Hands.<\/p>\n

At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide VA home health care<\/strong> and respite care<\/strong> services in Dallas<\/strong>, Richardson<\/strong>, University Park<\/strong>, Highland Park<\/strong>, Texas<\/strong>\u00a0for veterans of the armed forces who are eligible for VA pension benefits.\u00a0 Eligible veterans will receive home care from our licensed, professional caregivers and put their VA benefits towards the cost of care.<\/p>\n

VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit<\/h2>\n

Veterans and spouses of veterans can be eligible for the VA pension with Aid and Attendance<\/strong> benefit from the Department of VA which provides up to $2,200 per month.\u00a0 With these benefits, those who are eligible can pay for part-time home care.\u00a0 However, with millions of seniors who are veterans or spouses of veterans eligible for these benefits, only half a million seniors are receiving the benefits.<\/p>\n

Challenges to Getting VA Benefits<\/h3>\n

There are a couple of reasons why most seniors who are eligible for these benefits are not receiving them.\u00a0 One reason is that many seniors are unaware of these benefits and how they can help pay for home care.\u00a0 The other main reason is that applying for the benefits at a Veterans Service Organization (VSO) office is a hassle.\u00a0 There are often long lines and multiple trips are required to obtain benefits.\u00a0 Many seniors are told that they don\u2019t qualify for the benefits or that they may only receive a partial benefit.<\/p>\n

At Assisting Hands Home Care, we work with Care Planning Institute (CPI) to help veterans and surviving spouses obtain their VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit<\/strong>.\u00a0 The accredited VA benefits agents of CPI work independently of the VA on behalf of veterans and their spouses to get the benefits senior veterans are entitled to without them having to leave their homes.<\/p>\n
