What is VA Home Health Aide Care?

A home health aide is a member of the allied healthcare services and offers home care for veterans. They assist the veteran in daily activities that allows independent living. The HHA is not a nurse, but rather caretakers who are supervised by a registered nurse to help assist the Veteran with their specific living needs.

We provide skilled home care, personal care, assistance with ADLS, prepare healthy & light meals and light housekeeping.

  • How do I apply for VA home health aide care in Miami-Dade & Broward?
    • To apply for veteran benefits for assisted living and nursing home care there are several steps. These are only the basic steps. Please refer to the VA office to answer any specific questions you may have about your unique situation.
    • Identify your needs. Speak with your doctor and find out what type of help they suggest and you feel you need.  Ask yourself- what are the things you need help with the most? How long would you need a health aide for, and for how many days per week? Do you need a live-in caretaker or someone to drop in a few days as week? Is your need more medical than custodial?
    • Determine what your status is according to the VA: They’ll assess this by referring to your previous records. Questions like- active duty or reserves? Which branch of the military did you serve in and what length of tour of duty? All further information needed can be found on the DD-214 form you received when you were discharged.

    • Locate your local VA office and enroll.
