Maximize Veteran Care & VA Support with Homewatch CareGivers of Boulder

Deciding on in-home care for a loved one can feel daunting—especially as soon as VA paperwork gets involved. Many families in the area connect with Homewatch CareGivers of Boulder because we’re veteran-owned, and a large share of those we serve are veterans, and so are their spouses. Over the years, our team has built experience with VA benefits and local resources, helping Boulder veterans and their families feel more confident and less overwhelmed by the process.

Locating the Right Veteran Care in Boulder

Military service unlocks various support from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), from help with daily personal care to long-term assistance allowing veterans to stay at home in Boulder’s neighborhoods such as Table Mesa, North Boulder, or Martin Acres. Sorting through eligibility and getting benefits in place is often the real challenge, but you don’t have to go it alone.

Getting Started with the VA: A Step-by-Step Overview

While veteran care processes can be similar everywhere, Boulder-area veterans can also access local support resources like the Boulder Veterans Service Office.

Here’s how most families start:

• Check Eligibility – Details like service record, discharge status, and health needs matter. Boulder veterans can use the VA online tool or contact the Boulder County Veteran Services Office for individual help.
• Gather Documents – You’ll typically need discharge papers (like a DD214), relevant medical files, and sometimes information about household finances.
• Apply for Benefits – Applications are possible online, through local VA offices, or with an accredited VA advisor in Boulder.
• Schedule Assessments – Some VA programs require a nurse or specialist to assess what level of care is needed for the veteran.
• Select a Home Care Provider – Once benefits are approved, the VA will provide a list of approved agencies. Many local veterans have found Homewatch CareGivers of Boulder to be a trusted choice for friendly, professional support.
