In-Home Support You Need From A Team Who Cares Deeply 

Most seniors prefer to remain independent as they age; however, not all can do so easily. The day-to-day can become difficult and frustrating. Military veterans may have even more trouble daily because they are prone to Alzheimer’s disease, PTSD, and additional health issues. 

Visiting Angels Beaver Dam, WI, is an approved Veteran home care provider serving Beaver Dam and the communities of Dodge and Columbia counties in Wisconsin. 

What Benefits Are Available for Veterans? 

Visiting Angels is partnered with the VA to provide many services and resources for veterans (active duty naval, air, or military) who did not leave under a dishonorable discharge. Additionally, military spouses qualify for some of the in-home care benefits given to Veterans. 

The Aid and Attendance Program 

The Veteran Aid and Attendance program provides financial assistance to military veterans and their spouses who need help with activities of daily living (DAL). These services can look like: 

• Bathing 
• Dressing 
• Toileting 
• Eating

Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care (H/HHA) Program 

The H/HHA program assists seniors ordered by a VA physician. The H/HHA program, designed for veterans who need targeted medical attention, includes medication management, wound care, various therapies, and more.
