Veteran Care Services
Trusted Veteran Care Services in Pennsylvania
Veterans spend years looking after others. When daily life gets harder, accepting help can feel unfamiliar. Wells Premium Healthcare Services offers veteran care services that respect that history while making home safer and easier.
Veteran home care covers bathing, meals, medication reminders, mobility help, and companionship, delivered in the home a veteran knows best. Plans start small and grow only as needs do.
How Many Pennsylvania Veterans May Need Support?
Pennsylvania has nearly 700,000 veterans, and almost 500,000 of them served in wartime, according to the state Department of Human Services. About 72 percent are over age 55.
As that generation ages, more families are weighing how to keep a veteran safe at home. Veteran care services in Pennsylvania are increasingly a family decision, not just a personal one.
What Does VA Aid and Attendance Cover?
VA Aid and Attendance is a tax-free monthly pension enhancement for eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities. It can be applied toward home care, assisted living, and similar costs.
Rules include wartime service, a documented need for daily help, and income and net worth limits. Unreimbursed care costs, including in-home care, are considered in the income calculation. For the benefit year ending November 2026, the maximum for a single veteran is $2,424 per month. Rates adjust each December.
Wells Premium Healthcare Services is private pay and does not bill the VA. Because the benefit is paid to the veteran or spouse, some families use it toward privately arranged care. A VA-accredited representative or the county Director of Veterans Affairs can help check eligibility.
Where Is Home Care Available?
Home care is available in Washington, Allegheny, Westmoreland, Beaver, and Fayette counties, Pennsylvania. Families elsewhere are welcome to reach out and ask what support may be possible.
How Is Veteran Care Different From Standard Home Care?
Care plans begin with listening: how a veteran likes the day to run, what feels intrusive, and what feels like respect. Some veterans live with service-connected injuries or hearing loss. Others simply value routine, privacy, and plain talk.
Caregivers are matched for personality and consistency, so the same trusted person returns each visit. Plans also include dementia and Alzheimer's support when memory changes enter the picture.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Care is private pay and billed to the family. Veterans and surviving spouses who qualify for Aid and Attendance receive that benefit directly from the VA and may apply it toward care costs. Confirming eligibility with an accredited VA representative is the safest first step.
-
Eligibility generally requires wartime service, a need for help with daily activities, and income and net worth within VA limits. Surviving spouses of wartime veterans may also qualify. A county Director of Veterans Affairs can review a family's situation and explain the application process.
-
Yes. Many veterans begin with a few hours a week for bathing help, meals, or companionship. Hours can increase as needs change. Billing is hourly, so families pay only for the time used and never commit to a fixed package.
-
Yes. Caregivers are trained in dementia and Alzheimer's support, including calm routines and gentle redirection. Each plan also reflects the veteran's history, preferences, and comfort level, so daily care feels respectful and personal instead of clinical or rushed. Families are welcome to share service history and routines that matter.
-
Yes. Care is based on need, not veteran status, so a veteran and a spouse can each receive support. Surviving spouses of wartime veterans may also qualify for Aid and Attendance, which can help offset the cost of privately arranged care.
