For Veterans
JEVS Home Care is proud to serve those who have served our country. We offer a number of services that range from assistance in applying for the Veterans Pension benefit to Home Care assistance and Home Modifications.
Veterans Benefit
In November 1951, a law was passed authorizing a VA benefit for Veterans and/or their spouses. Known as the Veterans' Non-Connected Service Pension Benefit, this pension is not connected to a service related industry and can be of great financial assistance to seniors by helping them pay for long-term care needs, especially as out-of-pocket health care costs continue to rise.
The Veterans Pension Benefit can help pay for:
- Home Health Aides
- Doctor co-pays
- Eyeglasses and hearing aides
- Assisted living fees
- Prescriptions
- Dental expenses
- Insurance premiums
For additional information and free assistance with the application process, please call 215-637-4824 or email homecare@jevs.org.

Home Modifications
Home modifications are simple changes made to adapt living spaces to meet the needs of individuals so that they can continue to live comfortably and independently. They can make everyday life easier and safer, and range from replacing cabinet doorknobs with pull handles to installing wheelchair ramps and shower grab bars; raising furniture, or widening doorways.
To determine whether home modifications are appropriate, take a walk around the home. Go room by room. If anything seems unsafe or inappropriate, call us at 215-637-4824. One of our certified Occupational Therapists will visit the home to evaluate your needs, make appropriate suggestions, and coordinate services with our many trusted and reliable contractors.
