Chippewa Valley Home Care is a VA-approved provider. We're proud to serve the veterans of our community — and we handle the paperwork so you can focus on the care.
There are several different VA programs that can cover in-home care, and the right one depends on service history, disability rating, income, and functional need. The most common paths for our clients are:
An enhanced pension benefit for wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with activities of daily living, are housebound, or live in an assisted care setting. A&A adds funds on top of the basic VA pension that can be used to pay for in-home care.
To qualify, you generally must:
A self-directed program — similar in spirit to IRIS — where eligible veterans get a flexible monthly budget to purchase their own home care services. The veteran can choose their caregivers (including, in some cases, family members) and decide how to use the budget. Available through many VA Medical Centers.
A VA program that provides trained aides to help veterans with activities of daily living and light housekeeping so they can remain at home. Services are authorized by the VA and delivered by approved providers.
When VA services aren't available in a reasonable timeframe or distance, the VA may authorize care through community providers like CVHC. Your VA social worker can help determine if this applies.
Not sure which VA program fits? Call us. We work with veterans and the Eau Claire VA clinic often and can help you figure out where to start.
We're an approved VA home care provider — which means authorized care can be billed directly to the VA, with no out-of-pocket coordination on your end.
Once services are authorized, CVHC can provide:
We coordinate directly with VA social workers, primary care teams, and caregiver support coordinators — so you and your family aren't the middleman between the VA and the home care agency.
Local resource: the Eau Claire County Veterans Service Office and the County Veterans Service Offices in Chippewa and Dunn counties provide free help with VA paperwork and benefits applications. Don't pay a private "benefits planner" for something these offices do at no cost.
