VA Programs We Support

How Family and Friends Homecare Helps 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.

Real Stories

Real Stories from Veterans, Families, and Caregivers

Family & Friends Home Care is an amazing agency. Their integrity, compassion, and dedication have made such a positive difference in my life. They truly care about the people they serve, and it shows in everything they do. I give them five stars — with a twist: if I could, I'd give them even more! I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my loved ones. They have earned my complete trust and deepest gratitude, and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

From the very start we have been so happy with Friends and Family Home Care! They were prompt on getting back to us, setting up the intake and finding a provider for our Mom. The communication with the office and her provider has been great. It has made such a difference for Mom and she so looks forward to the time she spends with her care provider. As a family it is huge to have someone who cares about her there during the day as we all juggle life responsibilities!

I have been in the building where Care Provider Tamara Otte works and I just thought it fair to give an honest review and credit where it's due, because she is such a bright and pleasant person that she brings smiles to all of us around her. She has something positive and encouraging to say whether it's in the elevator, the common area, or outside in the courtyard. I always look forward to seeing and listening to Tammy. Thank you for her.

Working with Family and Friends has been an amazing experience. They are incredibly responsive, solution-oriented, and genuinely care about the families and caregivers they support. Anytime something comes up, they are quick to communicate and always focused on finding the best possible solution. As a caregiver, I feel truly supported, valued, and heard. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure my family and the care we provide are well taken care of. It's rare to find a caretaking organization that operates with this level of compassion, professionalism, and reliability. I'm extremely grateful to be part of such a supportive team.
