The Hidden Challenges of VA Homemaker/Home Health Aide Services

Did you know?
  • Many VA home care plans are task-based, not open-ended caregiving
  • Authorization depends on ADL safety triggers, not just diagnosis
  • Staffing shortages across Michigan often delay start-of-care
  • Rural Veterans face major access gaps due to local capacity limits
  • Documentation issues commonly surface during renewals
You're facing:
  • Confusing VA benefit language and care-team workflows
  • Uncertainty about what aides can (and cannot) do in the home
  • Scheduling instability, especially during Michigan winters
  • Risk of reduced hours if the plan-of-care doesn’t match real needs
  • Renewal disruptions due to inconsistent task documentation
