VA Benefits for Home Care in Glen Ellyn

Honoring Those Who Served with Compassionate In-Home Care

At 2nd Family of Glen Ellyn, we are proud to support the brave men and women who have served our country. Many U.S. military veterans and their surviving spouses qualify for special Veterans Affairs (VA) programs that can help cover the cost of in-home senior care. Our team is here to guide you through the process and provide the quality care every veteran deserves.

VA Programs That May Help Pay for Home Care

Several VA benefits can help offset or fully fund home care services for eligible veterans and their spouses:

• Aid & Attendance (A&A) Pension Benefit
  Veterans or surviving spouses who need assistance with daily activities—such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or medication reminders—may qualify for a monthly pension supplement to cover in-home care.

• VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care
  Through the VA Community Care Network, this program provides support for veterans who need help with personal care and household tasks but wish to remain at home.

• Respite Care for Family Caregivers
  The VA offers respite services to give family caregivers short-term relief while ensuring their loved one continues to receive professional, compassionate care.
