Free In-Home Care for Veterans — Through VA CCN
You Served Our Country. Now Let Us Help Serve You.
The VA Community Care Network is a great option for in-home care for veterans of all ages who qualify. This applies to those with both service-connected and non-service-connected disabilities.
Through the VA CCN Program, veterans can choose any credentialed agency that provides in-home care to receive care.
The VA usually assigns veterans between 6 to 20 hours of care per week. In some cases, however, the VA may authorize care for 24 hours a day. The VA bases the number of hours a veteran receives solely on need, not financial standing. The VA reimburses the VA CCN providers directly, NO OUT-OF-POCKET expense! Some veterans can be eligible for both in-home care services through the VA CCN and the Aid and Attendance Pension benefit.
