Veterans Care for Seniors in Baltimore

Are you or a loved one a Veteran in Baltimore or the surrounding areas?

Did you know you may be eligible for home care benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that allow you to stay at home?

The VA is a federal organization that supports Veterans and provides health benefits. Many Veterans and their families in Baltimore and the surrounding areas, including Baldwin, Butler, Dayton, Dundalk, Reisterstown, and Pikesville, may be unaware of the valuable VA benefits available to help cover the cost of home care.

At Griswold Home Care for Baltimore, we provide non-medical home care services for seniors including personal care, homemaking, companionship, respite care, and other additional care support services. Our experienced team is committed to guiding local Veterans and their families through every step of the VA benefits process.

Whether you need help with daily activities or respite for family Caregivers, we ensure Veterans receive the care they deserve in the comfort of their own home. If you’re ready to explore your options, we’ll provide the resources and support to make the process simple. Read on to discover which VA benefits may be available for you or your loved one.

VA Benefits You May Be Eligible For

Figuring out eligibility and navigating the paperwork can feel overwhelming, but that’s where Griswold Home Care for Baltimore can help. We’ll help you understand your options so you can focus on what matters most: your family’s well-being.

Common benefits include Community Based Services (HCBS), Housebound benefits, and Aid & Attendance Pension. Eligibility often depends on factors such as service history, medical need, and income level. Below we will break down VA benefits that you or a loved one might be eligible for:

Community Care Network (CCN): The CCN is a VA-funded program that provides healthcare services when the VA cannot itself provide necessary care directly. It covers a wide range of services, including medical, dental, and mental health services. It can even cover home care from 8 to 60+ hours, including the care services Griswold offers.

Respite Care Program: Provides short-term relief for family Caregivers by offering temporary in-home care or day programs, ensuring Veterans continue to receive dependable care while loved ones rest or attend to other needs.

VA Pensions: For qualifying wartime Veterans and their families, these funds can help offset the cost of non-medical home care, supporting safety and independence at home.

Aid & Attendance: Aid & Attendance is a benefit program for qualifying Veterans and surviving spouses who meet medical, service, and financial criteria. Unlike CCN, this program does not depend on service-connected disabilities or injuries. Veterans who served on active duty during a qualified war period may receive a cash VA Pension to pay for home care services, allowing them to remain independent at home.

Overall, these VA benefits provide essential support for Veterans and their families as they navigate care options and Griswold is here to help you understand them.
