Veterans' Benefits and Home Care

The Veteran Administration can provide two monetary benefits for Elderly and Senior U.S. Veterans who meet certain income requirements and general requirements such as being at least 65 years old or receiving Supplemental Security Income. 

The benefits, Veterans' Pension and Aid & Attendance, are provided to help Veterans who are in need of extra financial assistance to pay for the various costs of daily living, medical bills, or services such as home care. 

For Elder and Senior Veterans who require the aid of another person to perform activities of daily living, the VA provides the Aid & Attendance benefit. 

A-1 Home Care | A-1 Domestic Professional Services is a non-medical home care agency that provides a variety of in-home care services for Elderly, Senior, and Terminally Ill individuals in Westwood, CA and other cities in L.A. County and the OC. 

For Elderly U.S. Veterans who are seeking home care services, but may have trouble paying for care, we provide case managers who can help you determine whether you're eligible for for Veteran's Benefits and provide assistance with any stage of the application process - whether you're applying for Veterans' Pension or Aid and Attendance.
