Available VA Benefits for Veterans and Their Families
-
Homemakers and Home Health Aides (HHA)
Trained professionals provide customized in-home care tailored to each veteran’s specific needs, including activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, incontinence care, and medication reminders. They can also assist with housekeeping tasks like laundry and meal preparation, helping veterans maintain comfort and dignity while aging safely at home.

Respite Care
Family caregivers often experience stress and burnout. To support caregivers and veterans, the VA offers respite care, where an Amada professional caregiver steps in to provide regular relief. This allows family members to recharge or attend to other matters, knowing their loved one is in trusted hands.
