Let’s discuss what makes your loved one feel at home.

Who Qualifies for Veteran Home Care Services?

Eligibility for veteran home care services depends on military service history and current care needs. Many veterans, their spouses, or surviving spouses may qualify for in-home support through programs like VA Aid & Attendance.

If your loved one requires daily assistance and has a record of active duty service, they may be eligible for benefits that help cover the cost of care. To qualify, most programs require:

  • Active Duty Service: At least 90 days of active duty, with one or more days during a recognized wartime period
  • Discharge Status: An honorable or general (under honorable conditions) discharge from military service
  • Care Need: Ongoing help with at least two Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility
  • Financial Criteria: Income and asset levels that meet VA guidelines (thresholds vary based on household size and expenses)
  • Surviving Spouses: May also qualify if their spouse met service and discharge requirements, and they have similar care needs

If you’re unsure about eligibility or don’t know where to begin, Avalon Essential Home Care is here to help. Our team can guide you through the process and connect you with local resources to verify benefits and apply confidently.

Veterans’ Care FAQs

Planning care for a veteran comes with deep responsibility and often, many questions. If you’re a spouse, family member, or caregiver, we understand how important it is to find support that feels respectful, trustworthy, and aligned with your loved one’s service and needs.

Below are answers to common questions families ask when exploring in-home veteran care. If you don’t see your question here or need help understanding your options, our full FAQ page is always available to guide you.

While we are not directly affiliated with the VA, Avalon Essential Home Care assists families throughout the Aid & Attendance benefit process. We’ll help you understand what’s required, gather the right paperwork, and connect you with trusted veteran service officers (VSOs) who can guide you through official submission. The process can feel complicated, especially during a time of transition or recovery, so we take extra care to make sure you feel supported from start to finish.

Many families are unaware of what their loved ones are entitled to. Aid & Attendance can offset the cost of in-home care for qualifying veterans and surviving spouses, but applying requires detailed documentation and patience. We’re here to simplify the steps, explain what to expect, and stay by your side until everything is in place. You don’t have to navigate the system alone.

Our in-home care services for veterans are flexible and built around individual needs. Depending on the level of support required, we can assist with:

  • Daily personal care: Bathing, grooming, dressing, and hygiene tasks
  • Mobility support: Help with walking, transferring, or safe movement throughout the home
  • Medication reminders: Keeping track of prescriptions and ensuring proper timing
  • Meal preparation: Grocery assistance, cooking, and nutrition-conscious planning
  • Companionship: Regular interaction, emotional support, and structured routines

Whether your loved one needs a few hours of help or more frequent, consistent care, we tailor every plan with the same compassion and respect we’d want for our own family.

Many of the veterans we serve live with service-connected physical disabilities, cognitive changes, or post-traumatic stress. Our caregivers are trained to approach each individual with calm consistency, emotional sensitivity, and deep respect for their lived experience. Care may include physical support, help with daily tasks, and quiet companionship—all delivered in a way that honors boundaries and fosters stability.

We understand that military service can leave both visible and invisible wounds. That’s why we build our care plans around trust, not just tasks. For veterans who’ve spent a lifetime in disciplined environments or faced long-term challenges, our goal is to offer a steady presence that reinforces their dignity and helps them feel safe in their own home.

We take extra care when pairing caregivers with veterans, making sure the match feels both comfortable and dependable. Our process considers:

  • Physical & Medical Needs: The level of daily assistance required
  • Communication Preferences: Whether the veteran values conversation, quiet support, or something in between
  • Military Cultural Understanding: When possible, we assign caregivers who are familiar with or sensitive to military experiences
  • Schedule & Consistency: Flexible hours and caregiver continuity based on the veteran’s comfort

A strong match helps build trust, which is especially important for veterans who may be hesitant to accept help. We aim to create reliable, respectful relationships that lead to better care outcomes.

Every caregiver who serves a veteran is selected for their patience, professionalism, and ability to meet someone where they are emotionally and physically. From the first phone call to each daily visit, our approach is grounded in steady support, clear communication, and practical reliability.

We’ve proudly served families in Oakland and Macomb counties for over twenty years, and our commitment to veterans reflects our gratitude for those who’ve served. We help veterans with purpose and pride—because those who served deserve care that serves them just as faithfully.

“AE Homecare provides compassionate personal care and light housekeeping for my elderly mother with dementia. Whether her aides are preparing simple meals, helping her with bathing, doing light cleaning, laundry, or kindly visiting a little with her each time they come, she is always treated with dignity and respect. I cannot say enough good things about AE Homecare’s excellent Staffing Personnel and compassionate aides who look out for my mother’s welfare. We truly could not care for her in her own home without their help. Thank you for all you do. You have truly been an answer to our prayers.”

Daughter of a Dementia Patient

Great company and services

“I’ve had the same caregiver for the past year now who is an awesome caregiver to my mother-in-law she just love her and takes care of her dearly”

Carletta Taylor

Reliable, Caring, Responsive Service

“The agency provides a caregiver for my ex-spouse who has Alzheimer’s. We have a caregiver that is dedicated to him and has experience with Alzheimer’s patients. She is very easy to deal with when I see her in person at his house. She gives reports to the agency so that they have it on file. She is typically on time and if for some reason she will be late the agency will let me know immediately. The agency is also quick to provide a back up if the dedicated caregiver is not able to be at his house that day. The agency is very responsive to my requests.”

Kim

High marks for AE Homecare!!

“We have been the recipients of the extraordinary service for my husband, who has MS and is wheelchair bound. I am the primary caregiver, but have had help from this amazing agency for over a year now. The office personnel are exceptional, as they call regularly to check up on how my husband is doing and truly want to know if anything has changed. Our personal caregiver is outstanding. We have been with numerous agencies over the years and she is simply perfection. If an occasion arises and she can’t make it to shift they will send someone else all the while alerting us , with sufficient time so that we can change plans, if need be. None of this has been our experience with the other agencies. I can leave the house during their time with him and know that he is in good hands. AE Homecare is a blessing.”
