THE Next Steps

How to Qualify for VA Funded In-Home Care

Whether you are a Veteran and need in-home care services or you're a family member of a Veteran, it's important to qualify for our VA Community Care Network. To qualify, consider the following:

  • Veterans must be honorably discharged. They do NOT need to be war-era Veterans
  • Veterans must sign up for VA Healthcare

You should be aware that any home care services that are authorized depend on you or your loved one's physician's assessment of needs.

How To Enroll In

The VA Community Care Network

Gaining access to VA senior care requires a three-step enrollment process. Those steps include the following:

First, request an Assessment for Community Care Network (CCN) services from your VA Physician. From there, the VA Physician will conduct an assessment and write an order accordingly (based on eligibility and needs). After that step, request that your VA Physician specifies which VA home care provider you would like to use, such as Always Best Care.

During this step, a Community Care Coordinator from the VA will contact you after the VA Physician writes your order. After making contact, the Community Care Coordinator will inform you of the type of care and quantity of hours per week authorized by the VA.

If you have not selected a specific provider, the Community Care Coordinator will provide options in your area. Once a Community Provider like Always Best Care is selected, the Community Care Coordinator will send the authorization to the selected Community Provider that you request.

Should you choose Always Best Care as your Community Care Provider, a home care claims manager will call you to arrange a care consultation, complete the intake paperwork, and schedule in-home care services. After the care consultation, the Community Care Provider performs a final assessment of your needs.

After the final assessment is complete, a Care Plan is created for you by the Community Provider. The Community Care Provider will arrange for a caregiver to come to your home for the number of authorized hours allowed each week.

Note: Veterans may choose their in-home care provider and are under NO OBLIGATION TO SELECT Always Best Care.

Veterans Agent Orange Funding in Mill Creek, IN

Many U.S. Veterans returning from Vietnam began to report health issues almost right away, linking them to exposure to Agent Orange and dioxin. This connection sparked controversy from the outset and persists to this day. Veterans suffering from exposure to Agent Orange may be eligible for in-home care funding from Always Best Care.

One common misconception about this program is that Veterans must have served in Vietnam or were directly exposed to Agent Orange to qualify for funding. The truth is that a soldier DOES NOT need direct exposure to Agent Orange to benefit from quality in-home care.

However, to qualify for this type of funding, the Veteran must have served in the military when the government was using this harmful chemical herbicide. So long as you or your Veteran loved one served in the military during Agent Orange use, they may qualify - even if they did not serve in Vietnam.

The following cancers and illnesses are proven to have been caused by Agent Orange:

  • Hodgkin's Disease
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Respiratory Cancers
  • Bladder Cancer
  • Chronic B-Cell Leukemia
  • Diabetes Type 2
  • Parkinson's Disease
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Peripheral Neuropathy

Whether you served in Vietnam and were exposed to Agent Orange or you are a Veteran who served our country while the herbicide was used, you deserve personalized in-home care from expert caregivers. Unfortunately, securing VA funding for these services can be difficult - especially for older Veterans. That's why many soldiers contact Always Best Care for help.

Our franchise owners are experts when it comes to VA home care claims management in Mill Creek. When you call your local Always Best Care location, you can expect tailored service, expert guidance, and reliable help throughout the qualifying process.

VA Funded Home Care FAQs

The VA provides various programs that deliver both medical and non-medical home care services for eligible Veterans. These initiatives are part of the VA's home and community-based services. They're aimed at enhancing the well-being of Veterans facing chronic illnesses or service-related disabilities.

Non-medical home care encompasses services such as companionship, assistance with household tasks, and personal care. In contrast, home health care services focus on medical needs and include skilled nursing, medication management, and rehabilitative therapies.

The homemaker and home health aide program includes a trained caregiver visiting the Veteran's home to assist with daily household tasks, like grocery shopping or personal care. The frequency of the caregiver's visits can vary based on the Veteran's requirements, whether they need support daily or just occasionally. Veterans can keep receiving help as long as they need assistance with everyday activities. This program enables Veterans to remain in their homes instead of relocating to a nursing facility. It also supports family caregivers by alleviating their stress and physical demands.

The financial support provided by the VA for Veterans' home care can differ significantly depending on the program utilized by the Veteran, their disability status, and various other factors. In the case of spouses or family members of Veterans, the VA's payment for home care will be determined by their eligibility and the specific care requirements they have. Working with a VA home care funding specialist in Mill Creek may help Veterans and their families understand eligibility requirements. Working with an expert may also help to clarify how much the VA will pay for in-home care.

Possibly. Whether a spouse or surviving spouse qualifies depends on their specific circumstances and their ability to fulfill eligibility criteria. For instance, a surviving spouse who enters into a new marriage loses eligibility for TRICARE, which is the military's health insurance program. If a spouse or surviving spouse does not qualify for TRICARE, they might still have access to VA health care benefits through programs like The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA).

The Buford Wolves will challenge the Mill Creek Hawks at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Mill Creek will be up against a hot Buford team: the squad just extended their winning streak to nine. The Wolves blew past Mountain View 55-7 on Friday. With the Wolves ahead 48-7 at the half, the contest was all but over already.

Buford had a senior duo take command as Dayton Raiola threw for 129 yards and one TD and Torre Costin rushed for 49 yards and one score. Will Wyatt was in the mix as well, providing the Wolves with one touchdown.

Buford didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Jameer Cantrell and Brendon Davis. Cantrell got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.

Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Mill Creek over Discovery in every quarter on their way to victory last Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Hawks blew the Titans out of the water with a 51-6 final score. The victory continues a trend for the Hawks in their matchups with the Titans: they've now won six in a row.

Buford's win bumped their record up to 9-0. As for Mill Creek, their victory bumped their record up to 7-2.

Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Buford has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 207.9 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Mill Creek struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 175.4 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.

Everything went Buford's way against Mill Creek in their previous matchup back in November of 2024, as Buford made off with a 32-7 win. Do the Wolves have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Hawks turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.

The Mill Creek Hawks will venture away from home to face off against the Buford Wolves at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are coming into the game red-hot, with Mill Creek sitting on five straight wins and Buford on nine.

Mill Creek is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They simply couldn't be stopped last Friday as they easily beat Discovery 51-6. Given the Hawks' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 35th, while the Titans are ranked 375th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

The critical scores for Mill Creek came from Caden Lowe, Jayde Beasley, Carson Hurter, William Backus, Julian Alvarez, Dominic Miller, and Braxton Rembert.

Mill Creek didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Brooks Green.

Meanwhile, Buford took their contest on Friday with ease, bagging a 55-7 victory over Mountain View. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Wolves just coasted through the last quarter.

A big part of Buford's win came down to the chemistry between Dayton Raiola and his top target Torre Costin. Raiola threw for 129 yards and one TD while Costin rushed for 49 yards and one score. The dominant performance also gave Raiola a new career-high in rushing yards (28).

Buford's victory bumped their record up to 9-0. As for Mill Creek, their win bumped their record up to 7-2.

Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Mill Creek has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 175.4 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Buford struggles in that department as they've been averaging 207.9 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.

Mill Creek suffered a grim 32-7 defeat to Buford in their previous matchup back in November of 2024. Can the Hawks avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.

U.S. govt. shutdown, tiger beetles stall Mill Creek Landing dredging

Year in, year out, the Middlesex County Board of Supervisors seeks ways to address silt and sand that every ten to 12 months returns to blanket the waterside opening of Mill Creek public boat landing in Wake.

Middlesex County Planning and Zoning Director David Kretz reported to supervisors on Oct. 6 that the permit process for a routine maintenance dredge at the landing has been delayed because of the “potential” presence of northeastern beach tiger beetles on sand dunes east of the landing and a permit review slow down due to a possible furlough of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel as part of the current U.S. Government shutdown.

“We thought this was going to be a pretty easy process (to have local contractors perform a maintenance dredge), but it does not appear that it is going to be so easy this time,” said Kretz.

The boat landing has had required maintenance dredging by volunteer contractors once or twice a year for the past five years.

Contractors have taken the sand as compensation and used it to support their businesses. Maintenance dredges last for about six months before the sand returns.

The Middle Peninsula Regional Planning District Commission has been working with the county to find a more permanent solution to slow down the sand. All kinds of fixes are being considered, including the building of a reef and other design work under study.

Kretz said that when he recently reached out to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Virginia Marine Resources Commission and other agencies for a permit to do a maintenance dredge at the site he found the process “might now be” more restricted.

Mathews County knows about the tiger beetles as dredging near Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve was delayed recently because of the presence of the beetles. Tiger beetles are a federally threatened species that relies on the soft sand of a beach for its entire life cycle. Adults and larvae live in burrows below the high tide line and hunt small invertebrates. Federal agencies are sensitive to protecting the beetles habitat as it is vulnerable to threats like pollution, development and human activity.

Kretz said that he hopes the boat landing can be dredged at some point during Virginia’s hook and line rockfish season that runs from Oct. 4 to Dec. 31. The landing is currently opened for small boats that can maneuver around the sand bar.

In the meantime, the sand keeps coming and coming.

MILL CREEK, Wash. — A suspicious package was found outside of Swedish Hospital in Mill Creek, which prompted an evacuation and a response from the Washington State Patrol bomb squad on Tuesday afternoon.

Hospital officials reported that a staff member discovered the package this afternoon and immediately alerted authorities.

First responders received the call around 1:30 p.m., resulting in the swift evacuation of approximately 50 staff members and 21 patients from the hospital's emergency department. By 3 p.m., all patients had been safely transported to other Providence Swedish hospitals in the area.

The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office and bomb squad technicians responded to the scene, deploying a drone over the area.

Sheriff's deputies restricted access to the hospital property, and hospital staff diverted incoming patients to other area hospitals until the situation was resolved.

At 4:40 p.m., the hospital released a statement on the incident that reads:

"Today at 1:27 pm, a caregiver at Providence Swedish Mill Creek (13020 Meridian Ave. S., Everett) found a suspicious package outside an entrance to the facility in South Snohomish County. Out of an abundance of caution, the Snohomish County Sheriff's office was immediately called, and the building has been evacuated. As part of that swift process, 21 Emergency Department (ED) patients are being transported by ambulance to other Providence Swedish hospitals in Snohomish and King counties, and about 50 other people, including staff, were also evacuated. A Snohomish County Sheriff's Office bomb squad was sent to the scene and is deploying a robot to investigate and mitigate any risk. The ED will remain on divert until an all-clear is called."

At around 5:05 p.m., the SCSO said bomb technicians were able to evaluate the package and determine it was no threat to the building. According to the SCSO, an "all-clear" was given, and the hospital was notified that they were okay to reopen.

Dallas (Dallas County) — has broken ground on . This eight-story, mixed-use community will bring 387 luxury apartments and 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space to North Dallas.

The project, located at 8081 Walnut Hill Lane, will serve as the key residential component of The Hill, an open-air shopping and dining destination that has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, according to a press release.

The new development will feature studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, including select townhome and den layouts. Residents will have access to high-end amenities such as a rooftop pool terrace, sky lounge, speakeasy, coworking mezzanine, pet park, and a two-story fitness center. The project also includes ground-level retail and restaurant space designed to complement the existing shops and eateries at The Hill.

Positioned near major employers and medical hubs—including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and Medical City Dallas—the site offers direct access to U.S. Route 75 and the DART light rail’s Walnut Hill Station. First move-ins are expected in summer 2027.

According to Mill Creek vice president Chad Boyette, Modera at The Hill represents “a rare opportunity to seamlessly integrate luxury living into a well-established, open-air lifestyle center.” The project is being built to meet NGBS Silver Certification standards, reflecting Mill Creek’s commitment to sustainable, high-quality design in one of Dallas’ most connected neighborhoods.
