VA Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit

Many seniors who are veterans or the spouses of veterans may qualify for up to $2,200 per month from the Department of VA’s Aid & Attendance benefit. Sadly though, only some eligible recipients take advantage of these much-needed funds. These funds could be used towards personal home care, offering that extra bit of comfort and independence senior veterans need to age happily.

Challenges to Getting VA Benefits

Many seniors who are eligible for benefits to cover home care costs remain unaware of their availability, and often find the process of applying at a Veterans Service Office too much trouble. Furthermore, many are denied these crucial resources due to long lines or incomplete applications.

Assisting Hands Home Care collaborates with the Care Planning Institute (CPI) to ensure that veterans and surviving spouses are able to easily access their VA Pension Aid & Attendance Benefit. At CPI, accredited agents provide a personalized service so senior vets can stay in their homes while still receiving the benefits they have earned without having to go through anything further from the VA.

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.
