The amount of additional pension support varies based on the individual’s circumstances and the VA’s applicable benefit limits.
Factors that may affect payment amounts include marital status, income, assets, eligible medical expenses, and pension eligibility.
Because VA pension rates are periodically adjusted, families should review the latest official figures rather than relying on outdated benefit estimates.

Understanding potential benefits early can help families make more informed decisions about their loved one’s long-term care needs.
One of the biggest challenges families face when arranging home care is understanding how to pay for it.
Fortunately, some Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for financial assistance through programs offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Two important resources to understand are the VA Aid and Attendance pension benefit and the VA Homemaker/Home Health Aide program.
Although both may help eligible Veterans receive assistance at home, they operate differently and have separate eligibility requirements.
Aid and Attendance is an additional monthly payment available to qualifying Veterans and survivors who receive a VA pension and meet specific care-related requirements.
The benefit is intended to provide additional financial support when an individual needs help with daily activities or meets other qualifying medical criteria.
For eligible recipients, these additional pension funds may help offset expenses associated with personal care and assistance at home.
Unlike VA-authorized home care services, Aid and Attendance is a pension benefit paid to the eligible individual rather than a payment made directly to a home care agency.
This distinction is important for families comparing their options.
Eligibility depends on several factors, including pension eligibility, military service history, financial circumstances, and personal care needs.
An individual receiving a qualifying VA pension may meet the care-related requirements when one or more of the following circumstances apply:
Surviving spouses receiving qualifying survivor pension benefits may also be eligible.
Important: Aid and Attendance is not automatically available to every Veteran who needs home care. Applicants must meet the applicable VA pension and benefit requirements.
For current eligibility information, visit VA Aid and Attendance Benefits.
Applying for Veterans pension benefits can involve several steps, particularly when families are unfamiliar with VA documentation and eligibility rules.
Preparing the appropriate information in advance may help make the process easier.
Gather relevant military service documentation, including discharge records, and determine whether the Veteran or surviving spouse may qualify for VA pension benefits.
Applicants may need medical documentation explaining why assistance is required.
This may include information about mobility limitations, personal care needs, cognitive changes, or other qualifying conditions.
The VA may request documentation of income, assets, medical expenses, and other information used to determine pension eligibility and payment amounts.
Depending on the circumstances, applicants may need VA Form 21-2680, Examination for Housebound Status or Permanent Need for Regular Aid and Attendance.
Additional pension application forms may also be required.
VA processing times vary. Families should respond promptly to requests for additional documentation and monitor the status of their applications.
For assistance with VA benefit applications, consider working with a VA-accredited representative or Veterans Service Organization.

Not all Veterans who need assistance at home qualify for pension benefits. Others may be eligible for supportive services through their VA health care benefits.
The VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide program is designed to help eligible Veterans who need assistance with personal care and everyday activities.
These services may be appropriate for Veterans who:
The program can serve eligible Veterans of different ages, not just older adults.
The Veteran’s VA care team evaluates their circumstances to determine whether home-based assistance is medically appropriate and available.
Authorized services may include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, toileting, and other activities of daily living.
The frequency and duration of services depend on the Veteran’s assessed needs and the VA’s authorization.
Families interested in this program should speak with their VA primary care team or social worker.
The VA Community Care Network helps eligible Veterans receive authorized health care services from qualified community providers outside VA facilities.
For certain Veterans, community care may include approved in-home support through the Homemaker/Home Health Aide program or respite care services.
Unlike Aid and Attendance pension benefits, CCN services generally require a VA referral or authorization before covered care begins.
Veterans interested in receiving home care through VA community care can begin by contacting their VA health care team.
The process generally involves:
The VA determines which services are authorized, how frequently they may be provided, and whether any applicable copayment is required.
A Caring Touch Home Care is an independent home care agency. VA Community Care Network participation and coverage should be confirmed directly with the agency and the VA before arranging services under this program.

Finding the right caregiver involves more than arranging assistance with daily tasks. Families want someone who will treat their loved one with patience, kindness, and genuine respect.

Some Veterans need assistance with morning routines or a few weekly visits. Others require more consistent support because of mobility challenges, memory loss, or ongoing personal care needs.
We offer flexible arrangements, including hourly assistance and 24-hour home care.
When a Veteran begins needing assistance, spouses, adult children, and other loved ones often take on additional responsibilities.
Professional home care can help ease those demands while allowing families to spend more quality time together.
We understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines and making personal choices.
