Assisting Hands Home Care helps senior citizens who are veterans of the armed forces in Frisco, Plano, TX, and the surrounding areas (See All Served Areas). Our Veteran home care services are available to those who are eligible for the Veterans Affairs (VA) pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit, and they can use these benefits to pay for home care. However, many seniors are unaware of these benefits.

Veteran Home Care Frisco TexasSeniors who served in the U.S. armed forces may be eligible for benefits that can pay for some home care. If you have a senior loved one who needs daily assistance instead of being admitted to a nursing home or an assisted living facility, make sure to reach out to Assisted Hands Home Care. We will help you figure out if your loved one is eligible for VA benefits and if they can use them to pay for home care and respite care.

Assisting Hands Home Care offers VA home health care and respite care services in Frisco, TX, and the surrounding areas for those who served in armed forces and are eligible for VA pension benefits. Our caregivers will provide care to those veterans who are eligible for home care and can put their benefits toward the care.

VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit

The Aid and Attendance benefit from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) offers about $2,200 per month. This may mean that they can get part-time care.  However, the senior may not even know of these benefits.

Challenges to Getting VA Benefits

The reason why most seniors who may be eligible are not receiving these benefits is because they may not know they can cover some of expenses for home care. It is also difficult to apply for these benefits through Veterans Service Organization (VSO). It may take a long time and many trips to apply for and receive the benefits.

Assisting Hands Home Care works with the Care Planning Institute (CPI) who works with veterans and their surviving spouses to get their VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit. The CPI agents are trained to help veterans successfully apply for and receive VA benefits.

Requirements for VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefits

To get VA pension and Aid and Attendance benefits, the eligible senior veterans and their spouses must meet the following criteria met:

  • The veteran had to have served during a war
  • The spouse must be widowed, and their spouse had to have been a wartime veteran
  • Had to have served 90 days of active duty and at least a day during wartime
  • Had to have been honorably discharged from the armed forces
  • The veteran must be at least 65 years old
  • The veteran or their eligible living spouse must need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) to qualify
  • The eligible veteran must have $123,600 or less in assets
  • The veteran must have an income of less than $3,000 for a couple, $2,600 for a single veteran, and $2,000 for a surviving spouse

If the senior veteran is eligible to receive benefits, the VA will audit them to ensure they qualify for the benefits. This generally requires them to fill out lots of documentation. This is where CPI agents step in and can help those who qualify to keep their benefits going by applying for the paperwork needed over time.

VA Home Health Care and Respite Care

If you are a veteran who is eligible for a VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefits, these are the VA home care programs you may qualify for:

1. VA Home Health Aide (HHA)/ Home Health Program

The VA Home Health Aide program allows veterans to receive the care they need in their own home. The seniors do have to meet this criteria to qualify:

  • An assessment for geriatric extended care (GEC)
  • A significant cognitive impairment and a dependency for 3 or more cognitive impairments.

2. VA Respite Care Program

For veterans who need temporary care in their homes, they can use their VA pension benefits toward a VA respite care program and they do have to also go through the interdisciplinary assessment and have a dependency with 3 or more ADLs or cognitive impairment that is significant to qualify for these benefits.

Wolfgang Willems, the owner, and his team at Assisting Hands serving Frisco and Plano are top notch! We have been using them since July 2022 to help care for our mother who experienced life-changing illness in June. Coping with hospitals, insurance companies and rehab facilities has been so emotionally and physically draining on our family and we felt we were caught in a downward, never-ending spiral. Then someone told us about Assisting Hands. We did some research on them and other similar caregivers and finally decided on Assisting Hands. I cannot stress enough how wonderful they have been and how much they have helped our family. They have allowed us to share the burden of care and given us time to focus on the more important aspects of multiple therapies and recovery.

Assisting Hands Frisco is doing a phenomenal job by caring for my mother. It all started with both an easy but diligent intake done by Henny, their care manager. Already the next day after the intake, we had the first caregiver coming to my mother's home. Henny calls my mother and me every week just to keep everyone in the loop. The caregivers are on time and care for my mother as if she were a family member.

Our experience with Assisting Hands of Frisco has truly been outstanding. From our initial conversation, their team made us feel supported, informed, and confident that we were in good hands. The intake with Henny was smooth, thorough, and reassuring, and we were amazed that a caregiver was available to start helping almost immediately. The care plan they developed was detailed, thoughtful, and clearly tailored to our family’s needs.

Henny has been incredible throughout this process — compassionate, attentive, and always proactive in checking in and keeping communication flowing. Megan and the rest of the office staff are just as impressive. They stay organized, follow up promptly, and consistently make sure every detail is handled. That level of coordination and reliability has brought our family so much peace of mind.

The caregivers themselves are dependable, skilled, and genuinely kind. They arrive on time, are well prepared, and treat our loved ones with patience, dignity, and sincere care. We especially appreciate the consistency of caregivers, which has made a meaningful difference for a family member who benefits from familiar faces. Any time we’ve needed changes or assistance, the team responds quickly and professionally.

Wolfgang, the owner, clearly leads by example. His dedication to quality care shows in every interaction we’ve had with the company. The team even walked us through the long-term care insurance process, helping us understand and secure benefits we wouldn’t have known how to pursue on our own.

During what has been a very challenging season for our family, Assisting Hands has provided not only dependable care but also reassurance and relief. Their services are fairly priced, their staff is exceptional, and their commitment to families is obvious.

If you need trustworthy, compassionate home care in the Frisco area, I highly recommend Assisting Hands. They’ve made a meaningful difference for us and have truly become part of our support system.
