Role of Homemaker in Veteran Care
The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides the Homemaker Home Health Aide (H/HHA) program to ensure veterans receive the support they need to live comfortably, independently and safely. The VA H/HHA program involves skilled aides assisting veterans with daily activities in their homes. The VA Homemaker program also provides relief to family caregivers.
Eligibility for VA Homemaker Home Health Aide Program
Veterans must meet the following three criteria to be eligible for home care programs:
1
They must be enrolled in VA Health Care.
2
They must meet the clinical criteria for the program. This is usually done via a doctor’s order stating that the person would benefit from home care services. From there, they should contact their social worker, who will refer them to a provider.
3
They must be eligible for community care. Once authorized, they can contact a provider such as Village Caregiving for home care services.
Veterans can apply for VA health care online, by mail, by phone or get help in person at their nearest VA medical center. The timelines for each application can vary depending on individual circumstances and local VA workloads.
Comprehensive Care Options for Veterans
Village Caregiving is a comprehensive in-home care service that prioritizes people. Our award-winning model ensures that our clients feel fully supported and receive the optimal amount of care to facilitate an ongoing healthy, meaningful lifestyle. When formulating care plans, we consider physical, social and emotional requirements and strive to be a valuable resource for family caregivers.
Home Care Services
Every client and home situation is unique, which is why Village Caregiving develops personalized care plans for each person we care for. While some veterans may require personal hygiene and grooming assistance, others may only need appointment transportation or regular companionship. Each of our individualized care plans is formulated using input from the client and their family, so we provide services that have a meaningful impact. In addition to our basic care services, Village Caregiving takes time to match clients with carers who provide emotional support and companionship. All our carers are trained locals who love living in the areas they serve.
Respite Care & Holistic Approaches
Respite care is short-term relief for family caregivers. It gives them time to rest and recharge without worrying about their loved ones. These breaks are essential to prevent caregiver burnout. Village Caregiving respite care services are simple and dependable. We are available for flexible timeframes to care for your loved one.
Financial Assistance and Veteran Benefits
Financial assistance is essential to making in-home care services accessible to veterans. Several VA aid programs cover costs and enable veterans to continue living independently and comfortably at home. Many levels of VA aid are available to veterans requiring home care services. Some notable programs include:
Homemaker Home Health Aide (H/HHA) Program
Non-medical assistance and help with daily living activities.
Veteran Directed Care Program
A flexible program that gives veterans a specific budget to choose caregivers or services that meet their needs.
Each of these VA aid programs has specific eligibility requirements. Veterans should contact their local VA office for guidance on which program best suits their needs.
Financial Planning and Assistance
Ensuring Quality Veteran Care
Several factors determine the amount the VA pays for home care services for veterans. These include the program they are on, eligibility status and disability status. Village Caregiving provides flexible services and will help you get the most from your VA Homemaker benefits.
Programs such as VA Homemaker are designed to make personalized, compassionate care services available to veterans. Service providers such as Village Caregiving ensure that veterans receive the quality care they are entitled to.

What Is the VA Homemaker Home Health Aide Program, and How Does It Work?
The VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide (H/HHA) program caters to veterans who need help with daily activities, empowering them to live independently in their own homes. It also serves veterans of any age and individuals who are isolated or whose primary caregiver needs relief.
The program offers skilled individuals to help veterans with eating, grooming, bathing, dressing, grocery shopping and other nonmedical tasks. Home health aides and homemakers work for organizations with a VA contract.
The first step in this program is an initial assessment from a registered nurse to determine the veteran’s daily living needs. Home health aides and homemakers then offer regular, in-home support services based on a tailored care plan and receive supervision from a registered nurse.

Veterans can access various financial assistance programs such as:
