Honoring Veterans Through Care
Veterans have given so much through their service—yet many face challenges when it comes to accessing healthcare, housing, and support as they age. From navigating VA benefits to qualifying for Medicaid or local support programs, the process can be overwhelming.
At Community Home Health Care (CHHC), we are honored to support veterans in Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana, helping them and their families access the resources they need while providing compassionate in-home care.
VA Benefits for Veterans and Families
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a wide range of services for eligible veterans, including:
- Home and Community-Based Care – Skilled nursing, physical therapy, and respite programs designed for veterans who want to remain at home.
- Aid & Attendance Benefit – Provides financial assistance for veterans who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or eating.
- Caregiver Support Program – Offers training, support, and financial stipends for family caregivers of veterans.
- Medical Equipment & Supplies – Mobility aids, oxygen support, and other resources for daily living.
💡 Tip: Families should work with a VA-accredited representative to ensure they receive the maximum benefits available.
Medicaid Options for Veterans
In Indiana, veterans may also qualify for Medicaid coverage to help with healthcare costs not fully covered by the VA. Medicaid can support:
- In-home skilled nursing and therapy
- Long-term care services
- Prescription coverage
- Transportation for medical appointments
📌 Important Note: Veterans can often combine VA benefits with Medicaid for more complete coverage. Navigating this overlap can be complex, but guidance is available through local agencies and providers.

Stories of Service and Support
- “CHHC helped my father transition home after a hospital stay. Their nurse worked with the VA to coordinate his care, and we felt truly supported.”
- “As a caregiver for my husband, a veteran, I was overwhelmed. CHHC’s respite services gave me the break I needed while ensuring he had the best care.”
These experiences highlight the powerful impact of combining community resources with dedicated in-home care.
