About VA Home Care in Estero, FL

VA Home Care in Estero, FLVeterans who have served in any branch of the U.S. armed forces and their spouses are likely eligible for Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits once they reach the age of 65.  These benefits are available through the Department of Veteran’s Affairs and the money from these benefits can be used to help pay for home care.  Once you start receiving VA benefits, you can reach out to Assisting Hands Home Care to learn about how your benefits can pay for the VA home care programs we offer.

  • Veteran must have served at least one day of active duty during war time
  • The veteran and surviving spouse must be over 65
  • Retirement account must have less than $123,600
  • Combined monthly income must be less than $3000 for couples, $2600 for a single veteran, and $2000 for a surviving spouse
  • Surviving spouse applying for benefits must have been married to the veteran at their time of death

The application for VA benefits may also include the following questions:

  • Do you receive benefits for wounds suffered during military service from the VA or have you applied for these benefits?
  • Do you need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)?
  • Are you living at home and do you plan to live at home for at least the next year?
