Home Care for Veterans:
What “When Authorized” Means

Nana Cares provides non-medical in-home care for veterans and families who need help with daily living, home support, companionship, supervision, and caregiver relief. On the Nana Cares questionnaire, veterans are listed under “Veterans (When Authorized),” and the agency states that it supports veterans who need assistance with daily living, who may qualify for Medicaid or private pay services, and who require in-home support to remain independent.

In plain English, “when authorized” means some payment or benefits pathways may need approval before services can begin. Nana Cares may serve veterans through Medicaid waiver services, private pay arrangements, or approved third-party benefits, but VA-specific programs must be pre-authorized prior to service. Nana Cares does not promise eligibility, coverage, reimbursement, or approval.

The goal is to make the process clearer, not more confusing. Nana Cares can explain the next step in getting started, but final eligibility and authorization depend on the payer or program involved.

How Nana Cares Helps

Personal/Attendant Care

For veterans who need hands-on help with activities of daily living, Nana Cares offers Personal/Attendant Care. This may include grooming, bathing, toileting, mobility support, meal preparation, feeding assistance, and medication reminders within non-medical scope.

Companion Care

Some veterans mainly need company, supervision, and more structure during the day. Companion Services focus on conversation, supervision, and light activity to reduce isolation and support emotional well-being.

Homemaker Services

Homemaker Services can help when the household itself is becoming harder to keep up with. Nana Cares defines this support as non-medical help with household tasks like laundry, meal prep, light cleaning, and organization.

Respite Care

When a spouse, adult child, or family member is carrying most of the care, respite can make that role more sustainable. Nana Cares defines Respite Care as temporary relief for family caregivers through professional non-medical care in their absence, either short-term or ongoing.

Overnight Care

For households that need help after dark, Nana Cares does offer overnight care and extended-hour care. Overnight support is part of the agency’s service and pricing structure, with 24-hour or holiday requests handled by an Intake Specialist.
