Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Well, according to the VA website: "Eligible Veterans can qualify for independent living services through the Independent Living track through VA’s Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) benefit program."
Now, what all this consists of, where and how to qualify, application process, that will likely take quite a lot of research on your part. I would contact you VA and ask just who to contact for Vet Admin counseling help to provide pointers on access and availability. That isn't something a Forum like this can do for you, but we surely do wish you good luck.
First, veteran has to be in the VA health care system and may need to be evaluated for disability rating/benefits -- start with the county VA association if available. The two systems (in our experience) don't communicate with each other. Talk to their VA Dr about home health care needs, and ask to have a VA social worker assigned to the vet and meet with them about options.
My father-in-law (40% VA disability rating) currently has 9 hrs per week (4 shifts of 3hrs each) allotted to him for home health. Granting this care requires the need for ADL help, but while they're there they typically clean the house in addition to a shower, meal/snacks, and helping him do exercises. We've been told that 12 hrs/week is their absolute max, which he's not getting even though he's getting pretty close to needing 24hr care.
I'm pretty sure, however, that the weekly limits and specific guidelines vary by state and county (and available budgets therein) as well as your proximity to resources. We're in MN near the state capital metro area.
There seems to be a gap between that occasional home visit level of care and then jumping to a VA home. Both of my parents-in-law are on the wait list for the local VA home but it's a long wait time, so we're patching together enough private care and looking at regular AL/NM options now.
Not an expert, just our experience to date. Best of luck.
If you Dad was in the military during wartime, he may be able to get Aid and Attendance. You should have a County VA Dept where you can talk to someone.
