What does Homemaker Home Health Aide Care entail?
The Homemaker Home Health Aide Care service is designed to provide trained assistance to Veterans in their homes, aiding their daily activities and personal care. This service is extended to Veterans across all age groups to ensure they can continue living in the comfort of their own homes. Although Homemakers and Home Health Aides aren’t registered nurses, they operate under the guidance of a registered nurse who assesses the daily living needs of the Veteran.
This service is tailored to Veterans who require assistance with routine activities and personal care tasks. It’s also beneficial for Veterans experiencing isolation or those whose caregivers are under stress.
Homemaker and Home Health Aide services can be seamlessly integrated with other Home and Community-Based Services, with offerings varying across different locations.
Our Homemaker Home Health Aides are part of an organization contracted by the VA. These services can act as an alternative to institutionalized care, providing Respite Care within the home setting for both Veterans and their family caregivers. With the help of a Homemaker or Home Health Aide, Veterans of all ages can maintain their independence and continue residing in their homes.
Can I avail of Homemaker Home Health Aide Care?
If you’re an enrolled Veteran, you are potentially eligible for our Homemaker Home Health Aide Care services. Eligibility requires being qualified for community care, meeting our specific clinical criteria, and residing where the service is offered, as availability can vary.
It’s worth noting that a copayment for the Homemaker and Home Health Aide services might apply, depending on your VA service-connected disability status.
What assistance can I receive?
The type and extent of services you can receive are determined based on your evaluated needs. We encourage you to consult with a VA social worker to identify the specific assistance you might qualify for.
Depending on your needs, an aide could visit your home multiple times a week or simply occasionally.
Here are a few daily activities that our aides can help with:
- Assistance with meals
- Help with dressing
- Personal hygiene care
- Assistance with bathing
- Help with restroom use
- Mobility assistance
- Grocery shopping
The duration of aide services is flexible and continues as long as you require extra assistance in managing your daily activities.
How do I determine if Homemaker and Home Health Aide services suit me?
Utilize the Veteran Decision Aid for Home or Community Care to help discern which home or long-term care services best serve your needs.
A Caregiver Self-Assessment is also available. This can aid your caregiver in identifying their own needs and determining the level of support they can provide you. This data, in combination with your care team and social worker’s involvement, will assist you in making short-term and long-term care decisions.
Your social worker can provide these resources, or you can download them from the Decision-Making page at www.va.gov/Geriatrics.
If Homemaker or Home Health Aide services are deemed suitable for you, your VA social worker will assist you in setting up these services. Locate a VA social worker in your area.
