Serving Those Who Served in Ellsworth

Veterans in Ellsworth have several VA-funded routes for non-medical care at home. Aid and Attendance is a pension supplement for wartime veterans and surviving spouses with ADL needs. The VA sends a tax-free monthly amount to the household, which then contracts Care Solutions. Wartime service, honorable discharge, and income and asset limits all factor into eligibility. Veteran-Directed Care, available through VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, gives enrolled veterans a flexible budget. That monthly budget pays caregivers, sometimes including a spouse or adult child under VDC rules. The Homemaker and Home Health Aide program contracts our agency directly with the VA. Authorized hours are billed to the VA, removing out-of-pocket costs for approved care. Ellsworth sits in Washington County, about 40 minutes from the University Drive VA campus. The Washington County Veterans Affairs office helps residents file pension and enrollment paperwork. Our intake team explains which program fits your loved one's service history and current health needs. We verify wartime dates, gather DD-214 documents, and follow up on VA decisions. Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Light housekeeping and laundry can be added when approved. Family caregiver respite hours give scheduled relief without losing continuity for the veteran. We work to assign the same caregivers each week so trust builds over time. Grocery runs and medical appointment transportation can be coordinated when included in the plan. Call (412) 341-7780 to begin the conversation about VA-funded home care in Ellsworth today.
