Serving Those Who Served in New Kensington

New Kensington veterans have several VA-funded options for non-medical care at home. Aid and Attendance is a pension supplement for wartime veterans and surviving spouses needing ADL help. 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 countable asset limits. Veteran-Directed Care, available through VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, gives enrolled veterans a flexible budget. That monthly budget can pay 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, so the veteran owes nothing for approved care. New Kensington sits along the Allegheny River in Westmoreland County. The H.J. Heinz VA campus in O'Hara is about 20 minutes away, and the University Drive campus about 30 minutes. The Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging works with the County Veterans Affairs office on application support. Our intake team explains which program fits your loved one's service history and current care needs. We verify wartime dates, gather DD-214 paperwork, and follow up on VA timelines. Caregivers handle bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Light housekeeping and laundry can be added when approved. Respite hours give family caregivers scheduled time off. Call (412) 341-7780 to start today.
