VA Caregivers Support Program

The Veterans Administration (VA) has several home and community-based services for eligible Veterans and their caregivers. There is a Veterans Decision Aid tool located on the VA’s website which assists the veterans in determining which services best meets their requirements now or in the future https://www.caregiver.va.gov/Care_Veterans.asp
Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC) is one such program. The program assists by delivering routine health care services to the Veterans home. This service is used when the veteran has medical issues making it challenging for them to travel.   https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Home_Based_Primary_Care.asp
If the veteran is in the advanced stages of a terminal disease the Home Hospice Care can offer supportive services for both the caregiver and the veteran. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The service also offers grief counseling to the immediate family. https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Hospice_Care.asp
Homemaker and Home Health Aides is a program designed to help the veteran with any type of personal needs. The service will help with bathing and feeding among other things. https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Homemaker_and_Home_Health_Aide_Care.asp
Home Telehealth uses technology like computers and phones to contact the VA medical centers, alleviating the need to go in for a physical doctor’s appointment. https://telehealth.va.gov/type/home
Remote Monitoring Care allows the VA to monitor the veterans remotely using home monitoring equipment. https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Telehealth.asp
Skilled Home Care has medical professionals going to the veteran’s home to help care for the homebound veteran. The program is similar to Home-Based Primary care, except the care is provided by a licensed non-VA medical professional. https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Skilled_Home_Health
