Working closely with a trained options counselor, veterans can create a personalized support plan using approved VA funds. This plan enables them to hire and manage their preferred helpers, ranging from personal care assistants to service contractors for household tasks. The goal is to enhance self-sufficiency while ensuring the necessary help is always within reach.
The Veterans Independence Program (VIP) is a pioneering initiative aimed at providing veterans with the necessary support to maintain their independence while living at home. Unlike traditional services, VIP offers remarkable flexibility, allowing veterans to tailor assistance based on their specific needs and preferences. This innovative approach empowers them to manage and control the type and frequency of services they receive.
