Need help from VA for in-home care in GA but not sure where to start when they won't answer their phones?

My Father was in the Navy many years ago. He now has Dementia and Mom is blind and can't care for him. I do it all but I need some relief and I know that the VA will send caregivers to veterans a few hours per week. I just can't get anyone to talk to me.

You need to have both of them sign a Health Care Proxy and have two witnesses to them signing ( you cannot be a witness). That's the only way the VA will talk to you. If Dad's primary is not at the VA, call dad's MD and get him to order visiting nurses.
