Care-at-home providers across the country are on a mission to better serve Veterans through the challenges they may be facing from illness, isolation, or traumatic life experience. The first step to providing quality, Veteran-centered care is to learn more about their unique needs across every stage of the care journey.

Benefits for Veterans in Your Care
The VA provides a full range of benefits to all enrolled Veterans. The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) is complex and healthcare providers are not expected to achieve the same expertise as those whose job it is to enroll Veterans and adjudicate their claims.
While we encourage hospices and home care providers to have a general understanding of basic benefits, it is more important to know where to turn for expert advice and guidance. We offer support in how to navigate those systems, connect with the VBA and get your needs met.
Honoring the Veterans in Your Care
American’s Veterans have done everything asked of them in their mission to serve our country and it is never too late to give them a hero’s welcome home. Hospice staff may provide the last opportunity for Veterans to feel that their service was not in vain, and that they are appreciated. Get tips and instructions on special events like pinning ceremonies can help you and your team honor Veterans.
Volunteering to Support Veterans
WHV supports the training of volunteers who will honor Veterans and meet the needs of those who find themselves alone, for whatever reason, at the end of life.
Programs like No Veteran Dies Alone and Veteran-to-Veteran provides innovative models and training for volunteers who wish to serve Veterans in various capacities.
Working with Veterans Organizations
Veteran’s organizations serve America’s Veterans and their families with dignity and compassion and are often their principal advocate in ensuring that they receive medical care, benefits, social support, and lasting memorials. Not only is partnering with national or community-based Veterans Organizations a requirement of the program, it is paramount to complete and holistic support.
