Homemaker, Home Health & Respite
What is a Homemaker or Home Health Aide?
A Homemaker or Home Health Aide is a trained professional who helps Veterans with personal care and daily activities, allowing them to remain safely in their homes. Although not nurses, they are supervised by a registered nurse who assesses the Veteran’s needs. This program serves Veterans of any age who need assistance with daily living or who are isolated, as well as those whose caregivers are experiencing stress. Services can be combined with other home- and community-based programs and may vary by location. Homemaker and Home Health Aide services are provided through VA-contracted agencies and can be an alternative to nursing home care or used for Respite Care at home.
