Serving Those Who Served in Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant veterans needing daily support at home can pursue several VA funding options. Aid and Attendance is a pension supplement for wartime veterans and surviving spouses with ADL needs. The VA pays the household a tax-free monthly amount, and the family hires Care Solutions. Eligibility requires wartime service, honorable discharge, and meeting income and asset limits. Veteran-Directed Care is a separate pathway for veterans enrolled at VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. VDC provides a self-directed monthly budget the veteran controls, sometimes paying family members as caregivers. 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. Mount Pleasant sits in Westmoreland County, about 50 minutes from the University Drive VA campus. The Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging coordinates with the County Veterans Affairs office on application help. Our intake team walks families through which program fits their loved one's service record and current care needs. We verify wartime dates, gather DD-214 documents, and follow up on VA decisions. Caregivers handle bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Light housekeeping and laundry round out the care plan. Respite hours support family caregivers needing scheduled time off. Call (412) 341-7780 to begin a conversation about VA-funded home care in Mount Pleasant.
