In-home care for veterans in Canton, Michigan
Canton has a VA clinic of its own. We help veterans and families ask the right VA team for care at home, then bring VA-authorized care to the door.
Home care for veterans in Canton
We serve veterans in Canton and nearby western Wayne County communities, including Plymouth, Northville, Westland, Wayne and Livonia.
Canton is home to the Maj. Gen. Oliver W. Dillard VA Clinic on North Lotz Road, part of VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. For many Canton veterans, that clinic's primary care team is the place to start: tell them the veteran needs help at home, and they can ask a VA social worker to assess for home care. Veterans who get their care at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit start with their team there instead.
Wayne County Veterans Services has a satellite office in nearby Garden City for emergency assistance. For free help with VA claims, call the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency.

How VA home care starts in Canton
Talk to the veteran's VA care team
Tell the VA primary care provider or social worker that the veteran needs help at home. If the veteran isn't enrolled in VA health care yet, that comes first.
VA assesses and sets the hours
VA decides whether the veteran qualifies for Homemaker / Home Health Aide care or respite, and how many hours a week.
Ask for VETTED by name
When VA sends the referral to a community agency, you can ask for VETTED. We accept VA community care referrals in Canton.
We call you and start care
We learn the veteran's routine, set a schedule inside the authorized hours, and match a caregiver who lives nearby whenever we can.
What we do for veterans in Canton
- Homemaker / Home Health Aide care: bathing, dressing, meals, light housekeeping, errands, medication reminders and company, on the hours VA authorizes.
- Respite care: a caregiver steps in at home so the family caregiver can take a break.
- Veteran-Directed Care backup, where the program allows.
- Private-pay care for extra hours or for a veteran's spouse.
Our care is non-medical. Caregivers give medication reminders, not medications. VA pays VETTED directly for authorized hours.
