For many veterans and surviving spouses, the biggest challenge isn’t wanting support at home—it’s figuring out how to pay for it and where to start. That’s why BrightStar Care of The Monterey Peninsula is proud to be credentialed with the VetAssist® Program, a resource designed to help eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses pursue VA Aid and Attendance benefits that may help cover the cost of in-home care.

What is the VetAssist® Program?
VetAssist® is a program offered through Veterans Home Care® that helps guide eligible individuals through the process of applying for VA Aid and Attendance (A&A)—a benefit that can provide additional monthly payments for qualified veterans and survivors who need help with daily activities or are housebound. (Veterans Home Care)
Why this matters: Many families delay care because the application process feels overwhelming. VetAssist® can help simplify next steps so families can focus on what matters most—safe, consistent support at home. (Veterans Home Care)
Note: Veterans Home Care® and the VetAssist® Program are not part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and are not a government agency. (Veterans Home Care)
Benefits Veterans May Qualify For (VA Aid & Attendance)
VA Aid and Attendance (A&A) is an additional monthly amount that may be added to a VA pension for those who qualify and need help with everyday activities (like bathing, dressing, toileting, eating) or who are largely housebound. (Veterans Affairs)
These funds can help offset the cost of in-home care, giving veterans more choice and flexibility—especially when the goal is to remain safely at home.
