Agatha Home Health is a distinguished provider of home care services approved by Veterans Affairs (VA). We are dedicated to supporting our nation’s veterans, many of whom are eligible for benefits designed to alleviate the financial burden of in-home care.
These benefits empower veterans to receive the assistance they need while allowing them to age with dignity. At Agatha Home Health, we understand the importance of safety and comfort in familiar surroundings.
Our skilled caregivers are trained to meet the unique needs of veterans, ensuring personalized care plans that enhance quality of life. By facilitating access to these essential services, we help veterans maintain their independence in the comfort of their own homes.
At Agatha Home Health, we are committed to providing compassionate, reliable care that honors the sacrifices made by our veterans. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
The positive aspect is that numerous veterans from the U.S. armed forces — including those who served in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, or Coast Guard — can access in-home supportive care benefits provided by the Veterans Administration (VA).
If your family member has served in the U.S. military, they might qualify for financial support to assist with home care expenses.
Veterans may be eligible for personal home care services or health benefits through the VA, provided they fulfill specific criteria. This is particularly relevant for those seeking home care for veterans in Maryland.
These are key VA programs that may help veterans access or offset in-home support:
This program provides personal care assistance*—help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility—for veterans who need it, in their own homes.
These services are delivered by qualified caregivers under supervision and are often delivered via the VA’s *Community Care / Community Care Network when local VA facilities can’t provide them directly.
Veterans (or surviving spouses) receiving a VA pension may qualify for Aid & Attendance or Housebound allowances if they require help with daily tasks or are restricted to their home due to disability.
Aid & Attendance provides additional monthly tax-free assistance to cover care costs at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility.
If a veteran is enrolled in VA health care and qualifies for community care, the VA can contract with local home care agencies (like Agatha Home Health) for services when VA cannot provide needed care directly. (Veterans Affairs)
