Veteran Services

"It's about how we treat our veterans every single day of the year. It's about making sure they have the care they need and the benefits that they've earned when they come home. It's about serving all of you as well as you've served the United States of America." – President Barack Obama

At MedStar Home Health Services, we honor our veterans and truly appreciate their service to our country.

The Veteran Directed Care program

Veteran Directed Care gives Veterans of all ages the opportunity to receive the Home and Community Based Services they need in a consumer-directed way. This program is for Veterans who need personal care services and help with activities of daily living. Examples of services include but are not limited to:

Bathing assistance
Dressing assistance
Meal preparation
Light housekeeping
Medication reminders

This program is also for Veterans who are isolated, or their caregiver is experiencing burden. Veterans in this program are given a budget for services that is managed by the Veteran or the Veteran’s representative. With the help of a counselor, Veterans can hire their own workers to meet their daily needs to help them live at home or in their community.

The benefits of Skilled Home Health Care

Skilled Home Health Care is for Veterans needing short-term care as they are moving from a hospital or nursing home back to their home. It can also be used to provide continuing care to people with ongoing needs.

The program is for Veterans who need skilled services such as: skilled nursing, case management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, or IV antibiotics. Skilled Home Health Care can be used in combination with other Home and Community Based Services.
