As downtoburnout said, more information would help. VA benefits can vary greatly depending on when the person served and for how long.

Also, many benefits depend on the financial assets of the family. Some areas do offer in-home care for veterans, but there are qualifications. Calling your local VA is your best bet - even though you will have a lot of waiting and menu choosing, etc. Most of them do their best, but sadly, even that depends on where we live.

Good luck to you. Please let us know how you are getting along.

Downbutnotout, was your husband a career military person, or did he serve during wartime? As long as he was not dishonorably discharged he is probably eligible for some help. If you tell us a little more it may help.

Are you currently receiving any assistance from your local dept. of aging?

Please check out this website. Veteran's who served in a Theater of War during certain time frames WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm are entitled to benefits if you meet certain criteria. Please share this information. You have to go through the process which includes getting a doctor's evaluation, etc., and it may take several months to go through... but it is well worth investigating! http://www.veteransaidbenefit.org/

Plus don't forget to view the allowed IRS deductions . IRS Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, available at www.IRS.gov, provides a list of allowable medical and dental expenses. Save receipts!

Medicare doesn't generally pay for much in-home care except medical care (especially right after hospitalization). You'd have to check with your state and with Medicare for that. The VA does, in some areas, have in-home care to a point. But that depends on where you live. I'd check with the VA right away.
Good luck,
Carol
