At Veterans Care Companions, it is our honor & privilege to provide high quality, compassionate and professional in-home care for our nation’s veterans and their families.
Careworthy Home Care is proud to launch our new exclusive program, Veteran Care Companions.
​​This program helps veterans and their surviving spouses get the care they need in the comfort of their own home. This program also helps veterans find payment solutions to ensure this caregiving is free to low cost for our nation's seniors.
In addition to private pay, Medicaid waiver and VA Community Care Network, this program also accepts a little known veteran benefit, called Veteran Aid & Attendance. Veteran Care Companions can help veterans and their surviving spouses apply for this benefit and in many instances, we can start home care services right away, even while VA is still processing the claim for benefits.

If you or your spouse served in the military, you may qualify for a Veterans pension called Aid & Attendance Pension which can be used to pay for in-home caregiving.
Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension Benefit
The Veterans Benefits Administration, a branch of the VA, offers tax-free, monthly monetary payments to certain veterans with financial need, and their survivors. The Pension is a benefit for veterans who do not have a service-connected disability resulting from their military service.​
​
Aid and Attendance is an additional monetary amount that can be a standalone benefit or it can be added to an existing VA Pension. The enhanced Aid and Attendance amount is available for those who need the “aid and attendance” of another person for their routine daily living activities on a permanent basis. This benefit can cover in-home caregiving and can provide assistance with light housekeeping, errand running, personal grooming, dressing, meal prep, companionship and more.
Veteran Care Companions can check your eligibility for this coverage, as well as help you apply for this coverage. In many instances, you can start receiving care even before the VA has made a decision. Check your eligibility now!
In-Home Caregiving Benefits for Surviving Spouses
Surviving spouses may be able to access their late spouse's Veteran Aid and Attendance benefit, even if the veteran never applied while he or she was alive. The surviving spouse must meet a set of requirements in order to qualify for VA pension benefits:
​​
-
You must have been married to a veteran for at least one year.
-
You must have been married to a veteran at the time of his death.
-
You must present your veteran spouse’s death certificate.
​​
Remarriage does not affect your surviving spouse eligibility for “Aid and Attendance” if you meet all the following requirements:
​
-
You were married to your veteran spouse at the time of his death.
-
Your remarriage began after January 1, 1971.
-
Your remarriage ended before November 11, 1990.
​
Remarriage outside the specified dates will disqualify you from this benefit.
OTHER VETERAN CAREGIVING PAYER SOURCES
Veterans Affairs
Community Care Network
Careworthy Home Care Services is proud to service our nations veterans as a credentialed member of the VA Community Care Network (CCN). This benefit allows veterans who have or can get a VA health care team, the option to receive home care paid for by the VA, if approved.
Receipt of Homemaker/HHA services is not automatic. It's based on an evaluation by your VA primary care doctor and an approved authorization for a number of hours per week from the community care office. If approved, care is coordinated by VA social workers or RN Supervisors. We and honored to give quality care to the men and women who've served our nation proudly.
Indiana Pathways for Aging
(Home & Community Based Services Waiver)
Within broad Federal guidelines, States can develop home and community-based services waivers (HCBS Waivers) to meet the needs of people who prefer to get long-term care services and supports in their home or community, rather than an assisted living facility or nursing home.
Indiana has one such waiver called the Indiana Pathways for Aging program. This is a managed care Medicaid program that covers the cost of in-home caregiving services for Hoosier seniors and disabled persons of any age.
The best part is that you can simultaneously receive the HCBS waiver benefits and VA benefits. Veteran Care Companions can help you create a master plan that will consider all funding sources and address all of your caregiving needs.
Private Pay Clients
Private pay home care refers to the type of care services that individuals pay for out of their own pockets, without reliance on insurance coverage. This allows clients to have greater control and customization over their care experience, tailoring it to their specific needs and preferences. Private pay home care covers a wide range of services and price points to accommodate any budget.
