Veterans Home Care for Those Who Served in Cincinnati, OH, Florence, KY and Surrounding Areas
If you’re a veteran researching home care, or you’re an adult child or spouse trying to figure out whether the VA will help pay for the care your veteran needs at home, this page is for you. Here’s what I want you to know about us before you call anyone else.
Home Helpers of Cincinnati and NKY is an authorized provider in the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA CCN). When the VA approves a veteran for non-medical home care benefits, our agency can be assigned as the provider. The benefit covers the cost; the veteran typically pays nothing out of pocket. Home Helpers of Cincinnati and NKY has been a VA CCN-authorized provider since 2021, and we’ve served hundreds of veterans in the local area.
Our NPI is #1538314299. When you or your VA care coordinator are arranging services, this is the number to provide so we can be assigned to your care plan. Save this page or write the number down — it speeds the whole process up.
The VA Benefits Most Families Ask About
The Cincinnati VA Medical Center coordinates several programs that can fund home care for eligible veterans, and we work with all of them.
The Homemaker and Home Health Aide program covers our caregivers helping with bathing, dressing, mobility, meal prep, light housekeeping, and supervision for veterans who need that level of support to stay safely at home. This is the most common path.
The Caregiver Support Program provides respite care so a family member who is the primary caregiver can take a break. We staff the respite hours.
Aid and Attendance is a separate VA pension benefit that some veterans (and surviving spouses) qualify for. It is not paid through the CCN but can be used to pay for the same services we provide. You can apply through your Veterans Service Organization — VFW, American Legion, AMVETS, or DAV all help at no cost — or through a VA-accredited claims agent. We can point you to either.
How families usually get started
The fastest path for most Cincinnati and NKY families is to call the Cincinnati VA Community Care office at 513-475-6460 and ask about home care benefits for your veteran. They will determine eligibility and start the referral. (As a national resource, the VA also operates a Caregiver Support Line at 855-260-3274 that routes you to your local VA’s caregiver support team.)
Once the VA approves benefits, your care coordinator will ask which provider you want assigned. Tell them Home Helpers of Cincinnati and NKY, NPI #1538314299. We can usually begin care within 24 hours of receiving the authorization, including for hospital-discharge situations where the timeline is tighter.
What We Actually Do For Veterans at Home
Daily living support — bathing, grooming, dressing, transfers, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping. Companionship and conversation. Transportation to VA appointments, primary care, the pharmacy, the grocery store, and personal errands. Specialized support for veterans with dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, or end-of-life needs. Overnight and 24-hour care when family caregivers need to rest.
Our caregivers are W-2 employees, screened to Ohio and Kentucky state standards, and trained in the specific care situations veterans commonly need. We serve all of Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties in Ohio and Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties in Kentucky.
If you are not sure where to start
Call our office at (513) 712-0736 and ask for the VA coordinator. We will walk you through your veteran’s situation, tell you whether we are the right provider, and if we are not, we will point you to someone who is. The conversation costs you nothing.
