Has anyone used Respite Care @ home through the Vet Affairs? I believe the VA will pay for 30 days respite care per year. True? And is the care 24/7 @ no cost to the patient?
In my experience, Jjariz is correct, and they don't actually provide the care, but instead contract with a local home health agency. You can get 24/7 in-facility care if needed for a limited number of days --can't remember just how many, but they are part of your original 30. And, depending on the patient's status with the VA, he/she may have a small co-pay for some of those 30 days.
