Serving Those Who Served in Wexford

Wexford veterans who served during a recognized wartime period can apply for Aid and Attendance. This VA pension supplement pays a tax-free monthly amount when a loved one needs ADL help. The household uses those funds to hire Care Solutions as the home caregiver. Eligibility requires 90 days of active duty with one day during a wartime era. Income and countable asset limits also factor into pension approval. Veteran-Directed Care is a separate pathway for veterans enrolled at VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. VDC assigns a self-directed monthly budget the veteran controls, sometimes paying family members as caregivers. 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. Wexford sits in northern Allegheny County, about 25 minutes from the University Drive VA campus. The Allegheny County Department of Human Services veterans liaison helps residents with applications and benefits questions. 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 round out the care plan. Respite hours give family caregivers a scheduled break without losing continuity. Call (412) 341-7780 to start a conversation about VA-funded home care.

Our veterans care program honors the sacrifice of those who served by providing exceptional home care services. We understand the unique challenges veterans face and offer compassionate support that helps them maintain independence and dignity in their homes.
