  • Home-Based Primary Care delivers routine health care services to a veteran's home, including primary care, nursing, medication management, nutrition, physical rehabilitation, mental health, social work and referrals to VA community services.

  • Homemaker and Home Health Aide Services assist veterans with personal care needs, such as eating and bathing, which can be stressful and time consuming for caregivers. When arranged with the local VA Medical Center, the home health aide comes to the home on a regular schedule to allow the caregiver time for themselves or to accomplish other household tasks.
  • Home Telehealth extends care management and access to a care coordinator through technology in one's home, usually offered if the veteran lives far from a VA Medical Center. Services may include education and training or on-line and telephone support groups.
  • Respite Care provides the caregiver with relief from daily routines and care responsibilities, enabling them to maintain their own personal needs. Every Veteran whose condition requires a caregiver is eligible for up to 30 days per year of respite care. It is offered in a variety of settings including at the home or temporary placement in a VA Community Living Center, VA-contracted Community Residential Care Facility or adult day health care facility. Respite care may be provided in response to a caregiver's unexpected hospitalization, scheduled vacation or family emergency.
  • Home Hospice Care provides in-home comfort and supportive services for veteran and caregiver during advanced stages of a terminal disease. An interdisciplinary team of health care providers and volunteers from a local community hospice agency provides services, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For information and referrals about any of these programs, contact a VA social worker, case manager or caregiver support coordinator at the nearest VA Medical Center.
