Understanding In-Home Care for Veterans

We are deeply honored to serve those who have served our country. Our in-home care services for veterans are designed to provide comprehensive support, allowing our nation’s heroes to age comfortably and safely in their own homes. We work closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Homemaker and Home Health Aide Program to ensure eligible veterans receive the care they deserve.

Our veteran care services include:

Personal care assistance: Bathing, dressing, grooming
Companionship: Social interaction, emotional support
Meal preparation: Planning, cooking, feeding assistance
Light housekeeping: Cleaning, laundry, home organization
Medication reminders: Schedule management, adherence support
Transportation: To VA medical centers, appointments

We tailor our care plans to meet the unique needs of each veteran, recognizing the specific challenges they may face.

Partnering with the VA

Acti-Kare is a proud VA-approved provider for in-home care services. We work directly with the VA to streamline the process, and have served hundreds of veterans and their families.

The Homemaker and Home Health Aide (H/HHA) program offers essential support for veterans, allowing them to receive comprehensive in-home care while remaining in a familiar and comfortable environment. This program provides a range of skilled care services tailored to the specific needs of each veteran, ensuring they can continue living safely and independently at home. Services are medically necessary and are prescribed by a VA physician.

To qualify for the H/HHA program, veterans must be enrolled in the VA healthcare system and have a clinical need for in-home care as determined by a VA physician. Eligibility is assessed based on the following criteria:

Veteran Enrollment: You must be enrolled in the VA healthcare system to participate in the program.
Clinical Need: A VA physician must determine that skilled care services are necessary.

How to get started with the H/HHA program:

Enrollment: Ensure you are enrolled in the VA healthcare system. If you’re not already enrolled, visit your local VA office or go online to complete the enrollment process.
Clinical Assessment: Schedule a consultation with your VA physician to discuss your care needs. Your physician will evaluate your situation and determine if the H/HHA program is the right fit for you.
Referral: If deemed eligible, your VA physician will refer you to the H/HHA program. This referral will outline the specific services you require.
Coordination: Once referred, Acti-Kare will work with you and the VA to coordinate the start of your care services. We’ll develop a personalized care plan based on your needs and preferences.

Acti-Kare is dedicated to honoring our veterans through exceptional in-home care, allowing them to maintain independence and dignity.
