VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care

What is the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Program?

The VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide (HHA) Care program provides veterans with trained home health aides and homemaker services in their own homes. This program is designed to help veterans who need personal care assistance, light housekeeping, and support with activities of daily living — enabling them to remain safely at home rather than in a nursing facility.

Who may qualify?

Eligibility is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans who may qualify typically include:

• Veterans enrolled in VA health care
• Veterans who need assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, meal preparation)
• Veterans whose VA care team recommends home-based support services
• Veterans who need help to remain safely in their home environment
• Veterans recovering from illness, injury, or surgery

Services that may be available

Depending on the veteran's approved plan of care, services may include:

• Personal care assistance (bathing, grooming, dressing)
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Meal planning and preparation
• Medication reminders
• Companionship and supervision for safety
• Assistance with mobility and transfers
• Errands and transportation to appointments
