We offer in-home care for Veterans and community-based services that can help chronically ill, elderly or disabled individuals remain living in their homes. Under our Veteran care services, professional caregivers can assist Veterans of any age with their daily activities at home. These services can be used as a part of an alternative to nursing home care or to get home care for Veterans and respite care for their family caregivers.

Home health aide care may include assistance with a wide range of daily tasks to help Veterans continue living safely and independently in their own homes. Home health aides can help ensure patient safety and provide assistance with the following instrumental activities of daily living.

At Star Multi Care, we’re committed to providing Veterans and their families with exceptional in-home care. And with our New York and Florida locations being contracted with the VA, we make it easy to use your VA benefits to get the quality in-home support you deserve. Count on us for reliable home care services so you and your loved ones can confidently live your lives to the fullest.

Veterans home care is a program designed to help Veterans live independently in their own homes while receiving assistance with daily activities. In-home care services may include personal care, such as bathing, grooming, and dressing, as well as household chores, meal preparation, and medication management.

Non-Medical Home Care Assistance

Should you or a loved one require assistance with daily tasks that aren’t medically related, the Aid and Attendance benefit can be an invaluable resource. It’s designed to provide non-medical assistance to Veterans and their spouses. Star Multi Care Services provides in-home care, delivered by our professional caregivers. These caregivers aren’t just there to assist, they’re dedicated to nurturing a supportive environment in which Veterans can thrive.

The care services they provide help with daily activities, such as:

  • dressing
  • bathing
  • meal preparation
  • housekeeping

This assistance can significantly improve the quality of life for Veterans and their spouses, giving them the freedom to live in the comfort of their own homes. Remember, it’s not just about providing care, it’s about serving those who’ve served us.

With Star Multi Care Services, you can trust that your loved ones will receive the highest quality care from a team that genuinely cares about their well-being.

VA Aid and Attendance Pension Benefits

VA Aid and Attendance Pension is a different program with certain requirements to qualify.

While millions of Veterans courageously served our nation, a staggering number now face the battle of aging without the necessary support. The Veterans Administration provides a beacon of hope with the Aid and Attendance benefit, a lifeline designed to assist those needing non-medical help with daily activities.

Yet, out of the potential 15 million eligible Veterans and spouses, only a meager 3% utilize this benefit.  The culprit? A lack of awareness and misinformation about the program.

By understanding and spreading knowledge about this resource, we can contribute to honoring our Veterans’ service by ensuring their well-being in their golden years. Star Multi Care Services helps Veterans and their surviving spouses get the help they need.

The benefit is designed to assist Veterans and their spouses with non-medical home care, allowing them to maintain their dignity and independence while receiving help with the activities of daily living.

  • Meal preparation: This not only includes cooking but also grocery shopping, meal planning, and dietary needs.
  • Personal grooming: This covers bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, ensuring Veterans feel dignified, clean, and comfortable.
  • Mobility assistance: Helping Veterans move around their home safely to prevent accidents.
  • Housekeeping: This involves cleaning, laundry, and maintaining a safe and hygienic living environment.

These services offer a compassionate, caring approach to everyday living.

Benefit Overview

Navigating through the golden years can be a challenging journey, especially when one’s independence is hindered by the need for daily assistance. Thankfully, the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefit offers a financial lifeline to our nation’s heroes and their partners, potentially providing up to $2,600 a month to help ease the burden.

This benefit overview gives a glimpse into the vital role in-home Veteran care services play in the lives of Veterans. The assistance offered not only enhances their quality of life but also provides a sense of dignity and respect they deserve. 

With only a small percentage of eligible Veterans currently utilizing this benefit, it is essential to raise awareness and encourage greater use. The Aid and Attendance benefit can be a transformative tool, enabling Veterans to live their golden years with the comfort and support they need.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit, it’s important to understand the criteria set by the VA.

This Veterans care aid is designed to support those who served our country and their surviving spouses, ensuring they receive the necessary assistance for their daily routines. Eligibility requires that the Veteran or spouse needs help with activities of daily living, whether due to physical or cognitive impairment.

Furthermore, financial constraints are taken into account, as the program aims to help those struggling to afford home care services. It’s also essential that the Veteran served at least 90 days of active duty, with at least one day during a wartime period. By understanding these criteria, more Veterans and their spouses can qualify and benefit from this underused resource.

A Veteran must have served at least 90 days on active duty, at least one day during wartime, with an honorable or general discharge:

  • May 9, 1916, through April 5, 1917 – Mexican Border Period (Veterans who served in Mexico, the borders of Mexico, or adjacent waters)
