Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses in Palm Beach County can receive in-home caregiver support funded through VA benefits — in many cases with no out-of-pocket cost to the veteran or family. Lux Senior Care serves veteran families throughout Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee Counties, and we help you verify your eligibility before any commitment.
Here is the frustrating truth about VA home care benefits: the money exists, the programs exist, and most eligible families never touch them — because nobody told them, because the paperwork looked impenetrable, or because they assumed “VA benefits” meant only hospitals and disability checks. Palm Beach County alone is home to tens of thousands of veterans, many of them WWII-era, Korea, and Vietnam veterans now in their 70s, 80s, and 90s — exactly the population these home care benefits were built for. If someone in your family served, the twenty minutes it takes to check eligibility may be worth hundreds of hours of funded care.
Not sure which applies to you? That’s normal — most families aren’t. Call us and we’ll help you sort it out at no charge.

Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming) · companion care and supervision · meal preparation · light housekeeping · transportation to VA and medical appointments · respite relief for the veteran’s spouse or family caregiver — worth emphasizing, because in many veteran households the person wearing down fastest is the 80-year-old spouse providing round-the-clock care alone. Funded respite hours exist for exactly that situation.
Lux Senior Care is a Florida-licensed nurse registry where we refer pre-screened, credentialed caregivers, and the family stays in control — of the choice, the schedule, and the relationship.
“My father and my wife’s parents needed care as they aged — I know exactly what it feels like to need help and not know who to trust. Veterans gave this country everything. Helping their families get the care they’ve already earned is some of the most meaningful work we do.” — Julian Ocampo, Founder
For care authorized through the VA Community Care Network, the VA pays the provider directly for authorized hours — typically no cost to the family. Aid & Attendance works differently: it adds monthly funds to a pension, which the family uses to pay for care. We’ll help you understand which path fits your situation.
Possibly, yes. Surviving spouses of qualifying wartime veterans may be eligible for Aid & Attendance benefits that fund in-home care. Eligibility depends on the veteran’s service and your circumstances — we’ll help you find out.
Timelines vary by program — Community Care authorizations move through the VA system, while Aid & Attendance applications can take several months. Care can often begin privately (with the free first shift) while benefits process.
Yes — that’s the registry advantage. You select your caregiver, and continuity is the goal.
For Aid & Attendance, no — it’s a needs-based pension benefit tied to wartime service and current care needs, not to service-connected injury. Community Care eligibility runs through VA health care enrollment. We’ll help you sort out which questions matter for your family.
Accredited Veterans Service Officers assist with applications at no charge, and VA rules prohibit charging for application help. We’ll connect you with the right resource — our role is care, honestly defined.
