Veteran HHA Program: How Do I Get Started?

Accessing Affordable In-Home Care for Longmont Veterans

In the golden years of life, veterans who have served our country deserve to receive care that honors their sacrifices and meets their unique needs. Aging at home can become challenging, but with specialized home care tailored for our heroes, they can enjoy comfort, independence, and dignity. Recognizing this need, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers the Homemaker and Home Health Aide (HHA) program to assist veterans in managing their day-to-day activities within the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

At Homewatch CareGivers of Longmont, we deeply understand the significance of these services and the difference they make in the lives of veterans and their families. As a veteran-owned and operated business, our dedicated team is here to provide compassionate and skilled care and to guide you through navigating the VA's benefits to determine eligibility.

We believe in building strong interpersonal relationships with those we serve, emphasizing empathy, positivity, and caregiver expertise. By connecting veterans with the benefits they deserve, we help ensure they receive the personalized, respectful care that supports their well-being and honors their service.

Who Is Eligible for the Veterans’ Home Care Program?

Veterans must be assisted with at least two activities of daily living to qualify for the VA’s HHA benefits. These may include essential tasks such as walking or maintaining balance, needing help with bathing and dressing, assistance with transferring from a chair or bed, or support with meal preparation and eating.

Furthermore, veterans who have been diagnosed with severe cognitive disorders like Dementia or Alzheimer's disease also meet the criteria for receiving these vital services. At Homewatch CareGivers of Longmont, we are committed to providing comprehensive care beyond basic needs, ensuring veterans receive the dignity and support they deserve.

Once eligibility is determined, we offer additional homemaking services as a supplementary benefit to the program, enhancing the quality of life for veterans in their homes. While homemaking on its own does not qualify an individual for our services, it represents an important aspect of comprehensive care, offering peace of mind and a higher standard of living for veterans and their families.

How Much Does the VA Pay for In-Home Care?

The financial assistance provided by the VA for home care services depends on each veteran's unique situation. They will consider various factors, including the veteran's disability rating and income.
