Once a Veteran is enrolled in the VA health care system. There are benefits available through the health care system that many veterans do not know about called the Extended Care Services program. This program is available for veterans who are enrolled in the health care system. Usually, the veteran lives at home and needs additional care. The Extended Care Services Program is accessed by using VA Form 1010EZ.
The extended care services program can provide assistance with companion care in the home, provide respite care to give the regular caregiver some time off, pay for the cost of adult day care programs, and more.

The Extended Care Services program and the available services vary from state to state. The Veteran’s Administration (VA) does not actually provide the service; but instead, contracts with local vendors. The benefit to the veteran is that he or she can use these services at a reduced rate or for free, depending on which priority level the veteran has been assigned by the VA. The maximum co-payment on any of the services is generally much less than what the veteran would normally have to pay privately for the same service from the same or a comparable company. The true benefit is being able to stay at home and receive the necessary services at a greatly discounted rate or for free.
