If you or a veteran in your family has VA benefits, or you think you might qualify for help paying for home care, Assisting Hands Home Care can explain what’s available and provide the caregivers once you’re approved. We serve veterans throughout Bartlett and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

Many veterans who would qualify for VA home care never apply, mainly because the benefit isn’t well publicized. Families here often hear about it first through American Legion Post 1212 or VFW Post 11018, both active in Bartlett, rather than from the VA directly. If you’re unsure where a veteran stands with the VA or what they might be eligible for, either post is a reasonable place to ask, and so are we.<\/p>\n

VA programs that can pay for home care in Bartlett, IL<\/h2>\n

VA-funded home care requires an evaluation, not just a phone call to us. The veteran needs to be enrolled in VA health care and assessed by a VA nurse, social worker, and physician through the geriatric extended care program. That evaluation determines eligibility and the number of care hours approved. Assisting Hands is an approved provider for two of these programs.<\/p>\n

Homemaker\/Home Health Aide. Provides up to 12 hours a week of in-home help with bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Veterans generally qualify with a significant cognitive impairment or a need for assistance with three or more activities of daily living.<\/p>\n

VA Respite Care. For veterans currently cared for by a spouse or family member. A caregiver comes to the home on a set schedule so the family caregiver can take time away. Eligibility is based on the same evaluation.<\/p>\n

If the veteran isn’t enrolled in VA health care, VA Aid and Attendance is worth asking about separately. It’s a pension benefit for wartime veterans, or their surviving spouses, who need help with daily activities. Unlike the programs above, it pays the veteran directly, and that money can be used toward home care from a provider of their choosing, including Assisting Hands.<\/p>\n
