Serving Those Who Served in Trafford

Trafford 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 countable asset limits. Veteran-Directed Care, available through VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, takes a different approach. 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. Trafford straddles the Westmoreland and Allegheny county line, about 25 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 history and care needs. We verify wartime dates, gather DD-214 documents, and follow up on VA timelines. Caregivers handle bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Light housekeeping and laundry can be added when appropriate. Respite hours give family caregivers scheduled time off. Call (412) 341-7780 to begin a conversation about VA-funded home care for your loved one in Trafford.
