Big 3 Senior Veterans Benefits

BENEFIT #1: Aid and Attendance

This benefit provides supplemental funds to qualified veterans or their surviving spouses, enhancing their monthly pension from the VA (Veterans Administration) to help cover in-home care costs.

Eligible veterans must:

  • Have 90+ days of active duty, including at least one day during wartime (two years for Persian Gulf service).
  • Require assistance with at least two activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, meal preparation, and eating.
  • Have a significant portion of income allocated towards care expenses.

BENEFIT #2: Homemaker/Home Health Aide (HHA)

This program supports veterans living in Charleston, Huntington, Parkersburg, Beckley, and beyond who wish to remain independent in their own homes, providing them with a trained home health aide or homemaker. These in-home care professionals assist with daily living activities and offer companionship. Veterans services are contracted through non-VA providers, typically home care agencies like Amada West Virginia.

Qualification criteria include:

  • Enrollment in a VA medical benefits package.
  • A doctor’s prescription for home care services.
  • Confirmed eligibility for community-based care services.

BENEFIT #3: Respite Care

Respite Care offers temporary relief for spouses and other family caregivers, allowing them time for personal errands, their dependents, or their mental health. Services may include home visits by a home health aide, short-term stays in community living centers or VA nursing homes, adult day care, or in-patient care at VA medical centers. Priority typically is given to aging veterans 75 and older, disabled veterans, or those with greater financial or health needs.

To qualify, veterans must:

  • Be enrolled in a VA health care benefits package.
  • Need assistance with daily living activities or have a chronic illness that requires professional care.
