VA Services Available for Elderly Veterans

THIS WEEK WE CONTINUED THE DISCUSSION ON SERVICES Available FOR OUR ELDERLY VETERANS 
POPULATION, specifically provided by the VA. 

As Veterans needs change with age, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will provide benefits and services that 
address a variety of issues. 
Elderly Veterans may be eligible for a wide-variety of benefits available to all U.S. military Veterans. 

Elderly Veterans can receive geriatric and long term care programs at home, at VA medical centers, or in the community.
 
Geriatrics Program includes:
Homemaker and home health aid care
Skilled home health care
Home base primary care
Veteran-directed Care
Adult day health care
Respite care
Palliative care 
Hospice care
