We provide quality home care to our veterans who have served this nation proudly.
What is the Aid & Attendance Pension?
This program is for wartime Veterans, or their surviving spouses, who meet certain medical and financial requirements. Once qualified, there is no out-of-pocket cost for home care.
Our partners at VetAssist help veterans or their surviving spouses apply for Aid and Attendance. They can get home care started with Hands From The Heart Home Healthcare Services before the VA processes the claim and before our clients receive VA funds.
