What Are Veterans Home Care Services?
Veterans Home Care Services provide in-home care and support to eligible Veterans and their spouses. These services are often funded through programs such as the Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit, a tax-free benefit offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This benefit helps cover the cost of in-home care, allowing Veterans to receive the assistance they need without financial burden.
Assisting Hands practices in-home care with humble generosity. We go beyond the routine tasks to embrace empathy, patience, and genuine concern—making clients feel truly valued, empowered, and dignified.
