For Veterans & Surviving Spouses

Home care for veterans — and help paying for it through VA benefits.

We connect Inland Empire veterans to the AVCC network and the VA Aid & Attendance pension, help families request VA Homemaker & Home Health Aide care, and send Certified Nursing Assistants to deliver the care we provide.

The Programs

Three programs that help pay for veteran home care

Most families don't realize this help exists. Here's how each program works and how we guide you through it.

Program 1

AVCC — American Veterans Care Connection

AVCC is a veteran-focused care network that helps wartime veterans and surviving spouses access in-home care and navigate the VA benefits that fund it. As an AVCC-connected provider, Premium Care helps you:

Determine which VA benefits you may qualify for
Gather and file the required paperwork
Start care while your benefit application is processed
Coordinate ongoing CNA-delivered care at home

Program 2

VA Aid & Attendance Pension

Aid & Attendance (A&A) is a tax-free monthly pension added to the Basic VA Pension for veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily living. It can be used to pay for in-home care. In 2026, qualifying households may receive:

Up to $2,874/mo — veteran with a spouse
Up to $2,424/mo — single veteran
Up to $1,558/mo — surviving spouse

Program 3

VA Homemaker & Home Health Aide Care

If your loved one is enrolled in VA health care and needs help with daily activities, the VA itself may pay for an aide in the home through its Homemaker and Home Health Aide (H/HHA) program. Eligibility is based on clinical need, not wartime service, and a copay may apply depending on service-connected disability status.

Ask your VA primary care team or social worker for an H/HHA assessment
The VA decides how many hours are approved and assigns care to a VA-contracted agency
Need more hours than the VA approves? Aid & Attendance or private pay can cover the rest with Premium Care

H/HHA hours are delivered by agencies contracted with the VA. We’ll walk you through requesting an assessment and help you plan any additional care your family needs.

2026 Benefit Amounts

How much Aid & Attendance can pay

Maximum tax-free monthly benefit (Basic Pension + Aid & Attendance), effective Dec 2025–Nov 2026.

Single veteran (no dependents)$2,424up to / month

Surviving spouse of a veteran$1,558up to / month

Actual amounts depend on your income and unreimbursed medical expenses — the VA pays the difference between your countable income and the maximum rate. Premium Care is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; we help you access benefits you may be entitled to.
