Serving Those Who Served
The Care You Earned, in the Home You Love
Too many veterans never learn what veteran home assistance they qualify for. We change that. Our team helps you understand your VA and Medicaid home care benefits, handles the enrollment, and matches a caregiver who treats you with the respect you’ve earned — so you can stay safe and independent at home.
"The promise made to every veteran doesn't end at discharge. Helping them receive care at home is how we keep it."

How the VA Pays for It
VA programs that cover veterans home care
Many veterans and families don't realize how much help is available. Here are the main programs — and we'll help you find the one that fits.
MOST REQUESTED
Veteran-Directed Care (VDC)
VDC gives the veteran a flexible monthly budget and the freedom to choose their own caregiver — which, in many cases, can include a family member. If you already care for a veteran you love, this may let you be paid for it. We manage enrollment, paperwork, and payroll.
AIDE SERVICES
Homemaker & Home Health Aide (H/HHA)
For veterans who need help with daily activities, the VA can authorize in-home aide services through an approved agency — typically a set number of care hours each week.
ADDED PENSION
Aid & Attendance (A&A)
Wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need daily-living help may qualify for an added monthly pension on top of their standard VA pension — support that can go toward home care.
FAMILY CAREGIVER STIPEND
Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC)
For eligible veterans seriously injured in the line of duty, this program provides a monthly stipend, training, and support for a designated family caregiver.
Not sure which program fits? We’ll review your eligibility — and many veterans also qualify for Pennsylvania Medicaid (Community HealthChoices) at the same time.
The Paid Family Caregiver Program
You Already Care for a Veteran. Now Get Paid for It.
So many family members provide care for free. In Pennsylvania, you don't have to. Through VA and Medicaid programs, CareSphere can enroll you as your loved one's paid caregiver.
- Get paid after every shift Instant pay as soon as your visit is logged — no waiting two weeks.
- Many relatives & friends qualify Adult children, grandchildren, siblings, neighbors and more can be paid to provide care.
- We handle the enrollment Eligibility, VA and Medicaid paperwork, and setup — we do it for you.
