VA Programs We Support
How Can Family and Friends Homecare Help With VA Benefits?
The VA offers multiple programs that can cover the cost of in-home care for eligible Colorado veterans. We'll help you understand which ones apply — and guide you through every step of the approval process.
Homemaker & Home Health Aide (HHA)
For veterans who need help with personal care and daily living activities. An approved family member or friend can serve as the paid caregiver. The VA determines and covers the hours of service.
Aid & Attendance Pension
A monthly benefit paid directly to eligible veterans, their spouses, or surviving spouses — on top of a basic VA pension. Can be used to pay a family caregiver for help with bathing, dressing, eating, and more.
Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC)
Provides a monthly stipend for eligible family caregivers of post-9/11 veterans, plus health insurance, mental health support, and at least 30 days of respite care per year.
Veteran-Directed Care (VDC)
Gives veterans control over their own care budget so they can hire the caregiver of their choice — including a family member. Based on health status and care needs, not age or era of service.

The Process
4 Simple Steps to Start VA-Covered Care
Getting approved for VA home care in Colorado is straightforward. We guide you through every step so you can focus on what matters — caring for your veteran.
1. Register with a VA Clinic
Find your nearest VA facility in Colorado. The Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora is the primary location for most Denver-area veterans.
2. See a VA Doctor
Consult with a VA physician and request a recommendation for the Homemaker Home Health Aide Care Program or another qualifying VA benefit.
3. Select Us as Your Provider
Upon approval, designate Family and Friends Homecare as your preferred provider. The VA sends us the authorization and we contact you immediately.
4. Start Care & Get Paid
Once approved, care begins and your family caregiver starts receiving compensation. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on your loved one.

How Can You Benefit From VA Care With Family and Friends Homecare?
For Caregivers
For Patients
Get Paid to Provide Care
VA programs provide financial compensation to family members or friends who are already caring for a veteran at home. Stop providing unpaid care — you've earned it.
Flexible Schedule
Caregivers provide support on a schedule that works for both of them and their family. Part-time or full-time — it adapts to your life.
Support & Training
VA and PCAFC programs provide resources, guidance, and mental health support to help caregivers succeed and feel confident in their important role.
Comfort of Home
VA home care helps veterans remain safely and comfortably in their own homes instead of moving to a facility — preserving independence and dignity.
Choose Your Caregiver
Veterans can select a trusted family member or close friend as their caregiver — someone who knows them, loves them, and is already there for them.
Personalized Support
Services are tailored to each veteran's unique needs — from help with daily activities to memory care, mobility support, and ongoing health-related assistance.
