Support for Veterans

At the Northeast Kingdom Council on Aging, we are proud to support the brave Vermonters who have served our country. We offer services and resources that help veterans remain independent, connected, and supported in their communities.

Veterans Directed Care Program

Veterans Directed Care (VDC) allows eligible veterans to receive flexible, in-home services

that help them remain safely in their homes.

Through this program, veterans can:

Hire and manage their own caregiver
Receive assistance with daily living needs
Maintain independence while receiving tailored support
Coordinate services in collaboration with VA healthcare teams

Veterans must be enrolled in VA healthcare and referred by a VA provider to qualify.

This program is ideal for veterans of any age who need assistance at home and want more control over their care.

The VA has many services available to Veterans and caregivers of Veterans. Please contact your VA doctor or social worker to discuss available services.
