Veteran Services

Home Instead Senior Care of Northern Milwaukee is dedicated to helping US Veterans and their surviving spouses receive the quality care they need and deserve. The Veterans Administration offers financial programs that pay cash to veterans and/or their spouses. These funds may be used to help pay for home care for veterans.

It’s often a confusing and burdensome process to figure out if your insurance or the Veterans Administration will cover the home care services you need. We’re here to help. We are proud to say that we have helped many veterans receive the care they deserve. We work hand-in-hand with the Veterans Administration and can help you find out if you qualify for any VA programs.

Find out if you are eligible for the Veterans Pension Benefit and the Aid & Attendance Allowance by contacting Milwaukee County Veteran Services at (414) 266-1234, fax (414) 266-1233, or contact Director Rick Flowers, via rick.flowers@milwaukeecountywi.gov.
