VA Skilled Home Health Care

Skilled Home Health Care is for Veterans needing short-term care as they move from a hospital or nursing home back home, and can also provide continuing care for those with ongoing needs. The program covers skilled services such as skilled nursing, case management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, and IV antibiotics. Care is delivered by a community-based home health agency contracted with VA, and can be combined with other Home and Community Based Services.
