Where we provide care
We bring VA-authorized home care to veterans across Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties in Southeast Michigan.
Three counties, one team
Our office is in Troy, in the middle of the tri-county area. Whenever we can, we match each veteran with a caregiver who lives nearby. A short drive makes it easier to show up on a snowy morning, and it means the caregiver knows your part of town.
For each county below, you'll find the communities we serve, the VA facility that usually handles home care referrals, and the county veterans services office where you can get free help with VA benefits.
In every community listed, we offer the same services: Homemaker/Home Health Aide care, respite for family caregivers, and backup support for Veteran-Directed Care where the program allows.

Which VA facility handles a referral depends on where the veteran gets VA care, not only on their address. If you're unsure, ask the veteran's VA primary care team.

Why the VA facility matters
Home care starts with the VA team that knows the veteran. That team assesses need, sets the weekly hours and sends the referral. So when you call VA, call the facility where the veteran already gets care, not the one closest to your house.
If the veteran has never used VA health care, the first step is enrollment. Our eligibility and cost page explains how to apply and what happens after.
What county veterans offices do
County veterans services offices help veterans and families apply for VA benefits, including disability compensation, pension and Aid and Attendance. Their Veterans Service Officers are accredited, and their help is free. They are a good first call if you aren't sure what the veteran is entitled to. We don't prepare or file benefit claims, so we will point you to them.
Using Veteran-Directed Care?
In much of our area, Veteran-Directed Care is managed through AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services in Southfield. Your VA social worker will confirm which agency handles it where the veteran lives. Where the program allows, we can provide backup or short-term care when a veteran's own caregiver is unavailable. Learn more on our Veteran-Directed Care page.
Just outside our area?
If the veteran lives near a county line, call us anyway. We'll tell you honestly whether we can staff visits at that address. If we can't, we'll suggest other ways to find help, starting with the VA social worker.
