🇺🇸 Veteran-Directed Care (VDC)

Empowering Veterans to take charge of their care.

The Veteran-Directed Care (VDC) Program gives Veterans the freedom and flexibility to shape their own long-term care. Instead of being placed in a nursing home, Veterans receive a personal care budget that allows them to purchase the goods and services they need to remain safe, independent, and supported at home and in their community.

With VDC, Veterans can hire, train, and supervise their own caregivers, giving them greater control over their daily lives and ensuring their care reflects their personal preferences.
