Veterans Benefits for Home Care

Visiting Angels SE-OKC proudly partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide senior veterans living in Southeast Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas with non-medical in-home care. Our caregivers are honored to give back to those who’ve given so much for our country and support local veterans in aging in place comfortably and safely. Through our veterans care services, we help seniors accessing their VA benefits to receive care that supports their independence and improves their quality of life.

Veteran-Focused Senior Home Care

Each of Visiting Angels SE-OKC’s senior care services begins with a consultation. It includes a visit from care coordinators in seniors’ homes to evaluate their needs, introduce them to the standard of care we provide, and answer questions as they arise. After learning more about the person’s individual routines and preferences, we craft a personalized care plan and match them with an experienced caregiver.

Our veteran care services include elements of the following:

• Personal care: Visiting Angels SE-OKC caregivers assist seniors with personal hygiene (grooming, bathing, and toileting), meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, mobility assistance, and medication reminders.
• Companion care: Our caregivers also provide companionship and encourage social interaction to ward off loneliness and isolation.
• Respite care: Senior veterans may rely on family caregivers to support their daily needs. Our respite care services relieve these caregivers from their duties while providing seniors with compassionate care.

Visiting Angels SE-OKC also supports veterans living with memory-related conditions through our specialized care services. Our experienced caregivers are trained to assist seniors living with dementia and Alzheimer’s in remaining independent as they age in a familiar and comforting setting.

How Visiting Angels SE-OKC Supports Senior Veterans

As part of the VA Community Care Network, Visiting Angels SE-OKC supports a continuum of care for senior veterans in Del City, Forest Park, Midwest City, Oklahoma City, Shawnee, and the surrounding areas. Speak with one of our care coordinators to explore your options, as VA benefits such as VA Aid and Attendance and Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care (H/HHAC) may help cover your care costs.
