Understanding Veterans Affairs (VA)
Veterans and their families may be able to receive assistance with personal care and everyday activities through VA programs. There are several pathways, and eligibility depends on the Veteran’s service history, disability rating, and financial situation.
Healthy at Home can help families understand their care needs and navigate the next steps, including connecting with VA-accredited representatives and Veterans Service Organizations that can help with applications.
