Work With the VA, Step by Step

The VA decides eligibility for in-home care and issues any authorization. Start by talking with the veteran's VA care team, then ask the agency how it works with that authorization.

Tell us about the care you need in California and how you plan to pay. Home Care Hound will review your request for available options and let you know if there isn't an immediate match.

Questions

Common Questions in California

Can VA benefits help pay for home care?

They may, depending on the veteran's eligibility and the care approved by the VA. The VA will confirm which services and hours are covered.

How do I find out if I qualify?

Contact the veteran's VA care team or VA representative and ask about home care benefits. Then ask the agency how to arrange care once the VA has approved it.

Can a caregiver give my family a break?

A caregiver may be able to take over everyday tasks so a spouse or family member can have time to rest. The schedule depends on the care approved by the VA or arranged with the agency.

What kind of help can I get at home?

Caregivers can help with everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing, meals, companionship, and light housekeeping. These services are non-medical and do not include nursing or medical treatment.
