Aging Matters
Caring for Veterans
Veterans may find the activities of daily living difficult as they age, and many are not aware of available benefits. Daily chores like cleaning or laundry can be challenging for older veterans due to physical limitations. Through the VA, many veterans qualify for benefits like a home health aide or respite care that does not require them to have a pension or be disabled.
