What the VA program is designed to support
VA describes Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care as help in a Veteran's home with daily activities. Services are based on assessed need and may vary by location.
What to ask the VA
- Is the Veteran enrolled and eligible for community care?
- Does the Veteran meet the clinical criteria for this service?
- Is the service available in the Veteran's location?
- Has the VA authorized the hours and provider arrangement?
- Could a copay apply?
What to bring to Peacemaker
- The Veteran's care location and requested schedule
- The daily activities that require non-medical help
- The VA social worker or care-team contact, when available
- Any authorization or provider instructions the VA has issued
Important: Peacemaker does not represent that every Veteran is eligible and does not promise VA payment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about veterans support
Is every Veteran automatically approved for home-care hours?
No. VA determines eligibility and clinical criteria, and services must be available in the location. Authorization and any copay also remain with VA.
Is Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care skilled nursing?
No. VA distinguishes this daily-living support from skilled home health. Peacemaker's role remains non-medical.
Who should a family call first?
A VA social worker or care-team contact can explain eligibility and authorization. Families can also call Peacemaker to discuss the requested non-medical schedule without treating that conversation as VA approval.
