We work hand-in-hand with families and healthcare providers to create a specialized in-home care plan that honors your service and supports your well-being.

We Make Sure You Receive Your VA Benefits
 

At Your Side’s commitment to veterans extends beyond the walls of your home. A strong support system is crucial to well-being, so we offer a comprehensive approach to veteran care. While this includes empowering veterans with in-home care to maintain their independence, our services go further to ensure you receive the VA benefits you’re entitled to.

 

Receiving your benefits can feel like an uphill battle; At Your Side simplifies the process. Too many veterans don't get the help they need because they either get overwhelmed or don't realize these benefits are available. We're proud to serve veterans by helping them confirm their eligibility, gather the necessary documentation, and navigate the VA system, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.

 

VA In-Home Care FAQs

Who Is Eligible for the VA In-Home Care Program?

Veterans who need help with daily activities (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, or eating may qualify for VA In-Home Care through several different programs. These programs include the Community Care Network (CCN), VA Aid and Attendance, and more.

To be eligible, you typically need assistance with at least three ADLs. VA Aid and Attendance has additional requirements, such as needing help with ADLs, being housebound due to disability, or staying in bed for most of the day.

What Services Are Covered Under VA In-Home Care?

VA In-Home Care programs offer various services depending on your needs, including:

  • Light housekeeping
  • Meal preparation
  • Assistance with bathing, dressing, medication reminders
  • Nursing care, e.g., wound care, physical therapy, and medication administration

What If My Needs Change Over Time?

VA In-Home Care programs are flexible. As your needs change, the level of care you receive can be adjusted accordingly. This means you can start with basic assistance like meal preparation and gradually add services like skilled nursing care or physical therapy if necessary. Your in-home care provider will work with you to ensure your care plan adapts to your evolving needs, allowing you to remain comfortable and independent at home for as long as possible.

How Do I Apply for VA Home Care?

There are a few ways to apply for VA Home Care. You can fill out VA Form 21-2680 (Examination for Housebound Status or Permanent Need for Regular Aid and Attendance) and mail it to the VA Pension Management Center for your state. Your doctor can also complete part of the form. If you prefer an in-person application, you can also visit your nearest Veteran Affairs regional office.

What Happens After I Apply for In-Home Care?

Once you submit your application, a VA case manager will contact you to schedule an assessment. This evaluation will determine the level of care you require and the specific services you qualify for. After the assessment, the VA will either authorize services directly or provide you with a list of approved home care providers in your area. At this point, you have the freedom to choose your preferred provider, such as At Your Side, a trusted partner with extensive experience serving Veterans nationwide.

  • "Patricia has been great with my 93 year old mother!"
    She's creative and just seems to know what my mother needs and wants. She's a great aid to me knowing doctors visits, prescription pick-up and grocery runs are all taken care of - big load off my mind and schedule.
  • "The owners and nurse are fantastic!"
    Always willing to take calls from my Mom and explain things in a way she and I can understand. Also walked us through the insurance process. That was not easy and their expertise was greatly appreciated.
  • "At Your Side has given me peace of mind!"
    The fact that At Your Side was able to step in with certified dementia care specialists and begin caring for my father has been fantastic. The staff and caregivers are both sympathetic and empathetic and I feel it has helped my father during this difficult time. It has also given me peace of mind since I live a long distance from my father, and the communication from staff and caregivers is reassuring.
