Veterans Care Services

Serving Those Who Served in Hyde Park

Hyde Park veterans needing daily support at home have several VA funding options to explore. Aid and Attendance is a pension supplement for wartime veterans and surviving spouses with ADL needs. The VA sends a tax-free monthly payment to the household, which then contracts Care Solutions. Eligibility requires wartime service, honorable discharge, and meeting income and asset limits. Veteran-Directed Care is a separate path for veterans enrolled at VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. VDC provides a self-directed monthly budget the veteran uses to hire caregivers, sometimes including family members. The Homemaker and Home Health Aide program contracts our Western PA agency directly with the VA. Authorized hours are billed to the VA, removing out-of-pocket costs for approved care. Hyde Park sits along the Allegheny River in Westmoreland County, about 35 minutes from the University Drive VA campus. The H.J. Heinz VA campus in O'Hara is closer for some appointments. The Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging coordinates with the County Veterans Affairs office on application help. Our intake team explains how each program works and which fits your loved one's situation. We verify wartime dates, gather DD-214 details, and follow up on VA timelines. Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Light housekeeping and laundry can be added. Respite hours give family caregivers a scheduled break. Call (412) 341-7780.
