Using Long-Term Care Insurance
Many clients have long-term insurance policies but are unclear how they work. Angel Shines Home Care can review these policies and help you understand what coverage is provided and the benefits available.
Angel Shines Home Care can assist with the filing of claims, including the required paperwork, to help you maximize available benefits in the shortest amount of time possible.
After the filing of a benefits claim, Angel Shines Home Care will stay engaged during claim processing to ensure your claim is being handled promptly and efficiently. We will reach out to the insurance companies and their administrators to monitor and help advance the claim so that available benefits are timely provided.
Angel Shines Home Care is determined to help seniors obtain needed care without unnecessary stress. One way to reduce stress is to let Angel Shines Home Care coordinate and manage care plans in a way that maximizes long-term care insurance benefits. We can also monitor insurance payments, including the option of direct billing to streamline the process.
We provide help and home care services for senior Veterans or their surviving spouses who qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit.
About the Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension benefit
In 1952 Congress passed Title 38 of the United States Code, creating what we now call the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and authorizing benefits for veterans. One of these benefits is the Non-Service Connected Pension, with “Aid & Attendance.” (Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension benefit.)
Even though the pension has been around for 60 years, very few people know about it or understand how it works. Veterans Home Care has 10 years’ experience successfully helping veteran families apply for and receive the pension. Let us help you, too.

Medical: Do you have a non service-connected medical condition causing you to need assistance with activities of daily living?
Money: Do you have limited income and assets? (Your home and car are exempt.)
