Your VA physician is where you would start. Not at all making lite as I do not know your disability, I have several acquaintances who range from 30 to 100 and their disabilities do not warrant that type of care. It is truly best that you read the VA policy anssociated and then see your VA physician. All the best.Response by CSM Darieus ZaGara made Jul 21 at 2020 3:41 PM2020-07-21T15:41:09-04:002020-07-21T15:41:09-04:00Marilyn Hatcher6124856<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Here are some resources that may help<br /><br />Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care<br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Homemaker_and_Home_Health_Aide_Care.asp">https://www.va.gov/GERIATRICS/pages/Homemaker_and_Home_Health_Aide_Care.asp</a><br /><br />Also check into the caregiver program, Aid & Attendance/Homebound and the Veteran Direct Care Program<br />Under the caregiver program there are 2 types of Caregiver support<br />1.
