The Home Care Veterans Benefits

There are many veterans and surviving spouses of veterans who are currently either

in assisted living or are looking to move into an assisted living community; however, the costs become such a burden on the resident and often times, the family has to keep their loved one at home due to the high costs of moving their loved one into an assisted living community. What many people don't know is that there is a benefit for veterans and surviving spouses of veterans.

Many of the financial veterans benefits available from the Veterans Administration. Are payable only if a veteran has what's called a service-connected disability. "Disability" means a physical, mental, or emotional condition that limits or prevents a veteran from performing some normal, everyday activities; "service-connected" means that the condition was caused while the veteran was in the military.

For aging veterans, one of their most important benefit programs is the Veterans Non-Service Connected Improved Pension Benefit Program. Established to assist qualified veterans, and/or their surviving spouses and family, the Veterans NSC Improved Pension Benefit Program provides financial support that enables veterans to live independently while receiving the quality of care they deserve. In particular, funds are available for aging veterans who need assistance with medical and non-medical care both in the home and in qualified facilities.

Home care is one of the many ways by which the elderly can receive an appropriate health care even while they're in their own homes. This will help the elderly to remain independent but secured with a professional health care provider, personal aide or companion. Home care can be made available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Services can be paid through programs such as long-term care insurance or through Veterans Administration benefits and private funds. Some of the services offered when it comes to home care include, but are not limited to, assistance with personal care and daily living activities, transportation to and from appointments or other activities and assistance with medication and other health monitoring activities.

The availability of this program is something all veterans and their widow(er)s should know. Seniors in our country are now living longer. With higher living costs and the continued rise in healthcare expenditures, many seniors are at risk of quickly depleting their savings. Programs like the Veterans NSC Improved Pension Benefit Program can fund services like in-home care, assisted living facility expenses and other medical costs that many seniors face.

Imagine if you as a veteran or the spouse of one could receive tax-free money every month for life. This benefit could help you pay anyone including your child for home care. It can also be used to help you pay for professional care in the home, for assisted living, or for nursing home fees and other un-reimbursed medical expenses.
