Home care for veterans in Sterling Heights
Our Troy office is just across Dequindre Road from Sterling Heights, which makes the city one of the easiest for us to staff.
We also serve the nearby communities of Utica, Shelby Township, Clinton Township, Macomb Township, Fraser and Warren.
Macomb County doesn't have a VA community clinic of its own, so most Sterling Heights veterans get VA care, and home care referrals, through the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit. Some use the Pontiac VA Clinic instead.

How VA home care starts in Sterling Heights
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 Sterling Heights.
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 Sterling Heights
- 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.
