When an agency says they “do VA,” they’re usually referring to Aid & Attendance or the Community Care Network (CCN). These two are the most common, but not the only ones you should be aware of.
If you’re looking to serve veterans, it’s important to know there isn’t one single “VA program” that covers home care. Instead, there are several different benefit paths, each with their own rules, funding, and processes.
Here’s a breakdown of the key programs and what they mean for your agency:

Now that you know about the different programs that fund home care for veterans, we suggest you move on to this deeper dive into the VA Community Care Network to understand the different players and how all the pieces work together. The rest of the Vault will mostly deal with this program.
