Get Started with Home Care Through The VA Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit

Help with Activities of Daily Living

Activities of daily living (ADLs) are routine self-care activities that people tend to every day without needing assistance. There are six basic ADLs: eating, bathing, dressing, continence (using the toilet), mobility (transferring, walking), and grooming. Home care agencies provide aides who can assist those who need help with activities of daily living. Aid and Attendance helps wartime veterans and spouses pay for help with activities of daily living.

MORE ABOUT THIS VETERANS BENEFIT

In 1952 Congress passed Title 38 of the United States Code authorizing certain benefits for veterans. One of these benefits is the Non-Service Connected Pension, with “Aid and Attendance.” It is also known as simply “Aid and Attendance” or “Veterans Aid and Attendance benefit” or “Aid and Attendance Pension” or “Improved Pension with Aid and Attendance.”

In March 1989, during President George H. W. Bush’s presidency, the Veterans Administration (VA) was elevated to a cabinet-level executive department. The Veterans Administration was then renamed the Department of Veterans Affairs, and continued to be known as VA. Today the VA is comprised of three basic branches: the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Veterans Benefits Administration and the National Cemetery Administration (NCA).

Why Get Started With Astir Home Health Care NJ?

Attempting to provide care for your loved one yourself without proper training can cause needless stress for both you and your loved one.
The difficulty of providing care for your loved one while also managing your usual responsibilities can lead to burnout or neglect of your own household's needs.
Without regular companionship, your loved one may suffer from loneliness and isolation.
Aging alone increases the risk of injuries and can lead to declining health.
