VA home care FAQ
Can Veterans get home care through the VA?
Many Veterans enrolled in VA health care can receive in-home support when their VA care team determines it is needed. Services are authorized by the VA, and care can be delivered by approved community providers.
How do we start?
Talk with the Veteran's VA primary care team or social worker about in-home care and ask whether a referral to RightCare is possible. Then call us. We'll coordinate with the VA on the authorization and schedule.
Is there a cost to the Veteran?
Costs depend on the Veteran's VA eligibility and benefits. Your VA care team can explain any copays. We're happy to help you figure out what questions to ask.
What if the VA doesn't cover all the hours we need?
We can talk about adding private pay hours on top of VA-authorized care.
