Veterans In-Home Care

Applying for and qualifying for Aid and Attendance, a pension program from the Department of Veterans Affairs, (VA) can be confusing and time-consuming. Another consideration is remaining in VA compliance to maintain the Aid and Attendance benefit. DJC Rock Home Care can help you apply for the VA pension and begin home care before the VA processes your claim. Did you know, if you are a wartime veteran, or the surviving spouse of a wartime veteran, you may be eligible for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)’s “Aid & Attendance” benefit, which can help pay for home care?

Did you serve during one of the VA Defined War Periods?   World War II:  December 7, 1941 - December 31, 1946 Korean Conflict: June 27, 1950 - January 31, 1955 Vietnam Era: August 5, 1964 - May 7, 1975  Veterans who served February 28, 1961 - August 5, 1964, must have served “in the country” (Vietnam). Persian Gulf War: August 2, 1990 - date to be prescribed by Presidential Proclamation or law. Must have served active duty for two years or the full period of which the veteran was called for active duty.

Veterans Who Do Not Qualify for VA Compensation May Qualify for the Aid and Attendance Pension Program   It’s widely known that the Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) offers Disability Compensation (tax-free funds) to veterans with disabilities that are the result of a disease or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service. However, many people are unaware that a VA Pension program exists for wartime veterans who do NOT have a service-connected disability. The VA Pension helps veterans and their families cope with financial challenges by providing supplemental income.

Help with Activities of Daily Living   Activities of daily living (ADLs) are routine self-care activities that people tend to do every day without needing assistance. There are six basic ADLs: Eating Bathing Dressing continence (using the toilet) Mobility (transferring, walking) Grooming DJC Rock Home Care is an in-home-care agency that provides these types of aides and can assist those who need help with activities of daily living. Aid and Attendance helps wartime veterans and spouses pay for help with activities of daily living. _______________________________________________________________
