Wisconsin's veterans have served our nation with honor and dedication. Now, as many face the challenges of aging or managing disabilities, it's our turn to serve them. In-home care services provide a vital lifeline, allowing veterans to maintain their independence and age with dignity in the comfort of their own homes throughout Milwaukee and the surrounding areas.
The Department of Veterans Affairs offers several programs designed to support veterans who need assistance with daily living activities. The VA Aid and Attendance benefit provides financial assistance to eligible veterans and surviving spouses who require help with personal care tasks. The Homemaker/Home Health Aide (HHA) program offers skilled and supportive services directly in the veteran's home. Additionally, the VA Community Care Network ensures veterans can access quality care providers in their local communities when VA facilities aren't readily available.
These programs recognize a fundamental truth: our veterans deserve to live their golden years with the same courage and independence they showed in service. Rather than moving to institutional care, many veterans can receive the support they need right where they want to be – at home, surrounded by familiar comforts and cherished memories.
At Support Plus, we understand the unique needs of Wisconsin's veteran community. We're committed to helping veterans and their families navigate the VA benefit system while providing compassionate, professional in-home care that honors their service and supports their ongoing independence.

Understanding VA home care benefits can feel overwhelming, but these programs are designed to ensure veterans receive the care they deserve. Here's how the main programs work:
This pension supplement provides additional monthly payments to eligible veterans and surviving spouses who need help with activities of daily living. The benefit can be used to pay for in-home care services, adult day care, or assisted living facilities.
This VA program provides direct services to veterans who need help with personal care and household tasks. Services are provided by VA staff or contracted agencies and include assistance with bathing, dressing, light housekeeping, and meal preparation. Unlike Aid and Attendance, HHA services are provided directly rather than as a cash benefit.
When VA facilities can't provide timely access to home care services, veterans may be referred to community providers through this network. This ensures veterans receive care close to home from qualified, VA-approved providers. Support Plus is proud to be a Medicaid-certified provider that works with VA programs to serve Wisconsin's veterans.
These programs specifically cover non-medical personal care services – the everyday assistance that makes independent living possible. While they don't cover skilled medical care like nursing services, they do cover the supportive care that helps veterans maintain their quality of life.
Wisconsin's CVSOs are trained experts who provide free assistance with VA benefit applications. They can assess your eligibility and help gather necessary documentation. Find your local CVSO through the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.
Once approved, you can select a care provider like Support Plus. We'll work with you to develop a personalized care plan that maximizes your VA benefits while meeting your specific needs.

Veterans must have at least 90 days of active service with one day during wartime and require assistance with two or more activities of daily living. Surviving spouses may also be eligible.
VA benefits cover personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), homemaker services (meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry), companionship, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers. Medical services like skilled nursing are covered under different VA programs.
Start by contacting your County Veteran Service Officer for free assistance. You'll need to complete VA Form 10-10EZ for healthcare enrollment and Form 21P-527EZ for Aid and Attendance. You can also apply online at VA.gov or visit your local VA medical center.
