We are delighted to announce that we have teamed up with the VetAssist Program to be able to offer free, or low-cost, home care to veterans, or their surviving spouse, who qualify under the Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension benefit. This is an additional benefit that is added to your existing Veterans pension.

We can sit down with you and undertake a thorough assessment to determine whether you are eligible for the benefit. If we believe you meet the criteria we can help you submit the application and all the relevant documents to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

As an overview, the U.S Department of Veteran Affairs says:

“The Aid & Attendance (A&A) increased monthly pension amount may be added to your monthly pension amount if you meet one of the following conditions:

You require the aid of another person in order to perform personal functions required in everyday living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, attending to the wants of nature, adjusting prosthetic devices, or protecting yourself from the hazards of your daily environment

You are bedridden, in that your disability or disabilities requires that you remain in bed apart from any prescribed course of convalescence or treatment

You are a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity

Your eyesight is limited to a corrected 5/200 visual acuity or less in both eyes; or concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less.”

In addition, the additional benefit is also applicable to those that are substantially confined to their immediate premises because of permanent disability.

We can provide your home care immediately

If we believe you qualify we will start your home-care straight away. We do this by offering an interest-free loan that covers the gap until you are approved. This means that you get the care you deserve and need straightaway.

We will continually work with you to ensure the level of care we provide you with covers all of your needs. Whatever non-medical home care you require, we can provide it. Call us today on 215-825-5501 to find out more.
