Home Care Aid for Veterans
At Ohana Care, we proudly support our veterans and their families through dedicated veteran home care programs
SPECIAL SERVICES FOR OUR VETERANS
As a Veteran, there are financial support programs to help you remain independent at home. The Veterans Independence Program and Veterans Affairs Canada cover a wide range of home care services for eligible Veterans and their families.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us.
The Veterans Independence Program (VIP) helps you remain independent and self-sufficient in your home and community. Depending on your health, financial needs, and personal circumstances, you may be an eligible Veteran who qualifies for financial assistance with home care services.
VIP does not replace other federal, provincial, or municipal programs. Instead, it complements existing programs to help meet your health care and daily living needs.
You may qualify for VIP if you meet one of the following criteria:
- You have qualified for a disability benefit
- You have qualified for the War Veterans Allowance
- You receive Prisoner of War Compensation
- You are an eligible Veteran who cannot access a Contract Bed (also known as a Priority Access Bed)
