Like the vast majority of people surveyed, veterans prefer to stay at home as they age. This often requires day-to-day help, caregiving assistance, or home remodeling and handicap modifications.
As a veteran-owned company, we take special pride in serving veterans in our community and give back to veterans in need.
We have trusted collaborative relationships with the Department of Veterans Affairs and countless other healthcare providers. This offers our company access to the best supportive services for you and your loved ones.
If you’re a veteran in need of home alterations due to age, injury, or other mobility-related issues, we are honored to serve you. We participate in several programs that provide funding for home modifications to support living in place, including:
As part of our veteran assistance, we connect you to help completing the application process for these veterans benefits.
It’s important to enable veterans to create a safe living environment for their own sense of self-reliance. Most prefer to live independently and prioritize their own needs.
This usually requires handicap modifications and home repairs. These changes will take into consideration disability or natural challenges associated with aging. Just a few examples include:
Fortunately, there is support through many programs. These programs help aging or physically challenged veterans stay healthy and remain at home.
This is the most well-known veterans benefits program, though many veterans are still unaware of this benefit. You may qualify if you’re eligible for the VA pension. You or your spouse must also need assistance for daily living or be largely housebound due to chronic illness or permanent disability. This benefit can also provide financial support for personal care services.
The Administration on Aging offers Community Living Program Grants in partnership with the Veteran’s Health Administration. Eligible veterans require a nursing home level of care and are enrolled in the VA health care system. Services can be managed by the veteran or family caregiver, allowing the veteran to make their own decisions. The budget can be used to hire personal caregivers and purchase medical equipment. Or you can use the funds to make home modifications if it would lower care costs.
The VA also offers certain veterans one of three grants specifically intended to pay for home modifications to accommodate for their service-connected disabilities and, in some cases, for disabilities unrelated to their military service.
These grants are the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant, the Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) grant and the Home Improvement and Structural Alteration (HISA) grant.
