Paying for Home Care

There are two ways the VA (Veterans Administration) can help with Non-Medical Home Care Costs.

1. The VA choice program is paid directly to the agency providing care with only a VA Doctors approval.

2. The VA Aid and Attendance requires the Veteran to go though a approval process that takes up to 6 months, the whole time the Veteran must pay for the Home Care up front and after being approved will get reimbursed.

Veterans Choice Program

Right at Home has a contract with the Phoenix Veterans Administration office covering Maricopa and Pima Counties. The Choice program offers Veterans up to 10 Home Health Aide (HHA) hours per week and 2 hours for Home Maker (HM) service per week. They may also qualify for respite care at 6 hour incumbents. Please contact our office for more information - (480) 632-1100

1. Develop a Client Care Profile

When you call Right at Home, we start by gathering information on how we can best help you. We’ll ask some questions to get a better understanding of your wishes. Then, we’ll arrange an in-home visit to perform a basic needs and environment assessment as well as answer any questions you may have.

2. Create a Person-Centered Care Plan

Next, we’ll craft a person-centered care plan that is tailored to your needs. The plan incorporates your and your loved one’s history, routines, and preferences in order to create support activities that will provide the most benefit. We will review the care plan with you in detail and modify it as you see fit.

3. Identify the Best Caregiver for You

Allowing someone into your home is a big step. We are honored and grateful that you put your trust in us. So, it’s important that we make the perfect caregiver match. We consider numerous factors such as interests, personalities, and services needed. All caregivers are screened, including background and reference checks. They are also bonded/insured. Of course, your comfort matters the most. If you ever have any concerns, we will work to find you a new caregiver.

We believe every interaction with Right at Home should be extraordinary. Right at Home’s caregivers live our mission and strive to improve the quality of life for those they serve each day.
