In addition to the exceptional care that veterans in Durango and La Plata County can receive from Comfort Keepers, they may also qualify for VA benefits, which can help cover part or all of the in-home care costs. And, to address a common question: surviving spouses of veterans may also be eligible for these home care benefits. These VA programs are designed for those who have served, meet specific financial criteria, and demonstrate a need for home-based care. Our close partnership with the Veterans Affairs Department simplifies the process for local veterans to apply for and, if qualified, receive these vital services with little or no out-of-pocket cost.
To make the application process easier, we’ve teamed up with Veteran Caregivers of America, a veteran advocacy group based in Durango. By sharing some basic information with us or Veteran Caregivers of America, we can work with you and the VA to guide your Aid & Attendance benefits application through the VA system. These benefits are rightfully earned, and we’re dedicated to ensuring you receive the highest quality care while minimizing expenses.
