Veterans Benefits for Home Care

In-home senior care is not exclusively for civilians. On the contrary, Veterans greatly benefit from partnering with an agency like Visiting Angels Libertyville, IL, to receive additional support at home. What we often find, though, is that many Veterans are unaware that they can use their VA benefits for non-medical in-home care, and we are committed to raising awareness throughout Lake County about this valuable resource.

Whether you’re in the heart of Libertyville or tucked into the tree-lined streets of Lincolnshire, Visiting Angels is happy to support veterans throughout Lake County—with special care for families in Gurnee, Mundelein, Hawthorn Heights, Vernon Hills, and beyond. If your town isn’t listed, take a look at our full list of areas we serve.

If you didn’t know you could access VA benefits for in-home support, we’re here to guide you through the often complicated process of securing the care you deserve. Visiting Angels Libertyville works with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and can accept VA benefits for eligible Veterans. Just call our office in Vernon Hills at 847-996-0888 to begin a conversation.

Veterans Benefits: Using the Support You’ve Earned

If you or your loved one is a U.S. Veteran—or the surviving spouse of one—you may qualify for financial assistance through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to help cover the cost of in-home care. VA programs like Aid & Attendance and Housebound offer additional monthly benefits for those who need help with daily activities or have difficulty leaving the house. These benefits can make a meaningful difference in your ability to receive care where you feel most at ease, right at home.

Visiting Angels Libertyville has caregivers available to assist on your schedule, be it part-time, temporary, or long-term—even 24/7. Types of services that assist with everyday tasks that your VA benefits may cover include:

• Keeping yourself clean, comfortable, and safe
• Planning and cooking meals and grocery shopping
• Lightly cleaning
• Medication reminders
• Gentle daily encouragement
• Companionship and emotional support
