VCAP Veterans Community Access Program
❖ The goal of the program is to help Veterans with long-term care needs remain in their own homes. This program is designed to empower and support qualifying Veterans to hire, train, and supervise care attendants. Personal Care Attendants will help with the Veteran’s daily needs for care, provide caregiver respite, and perform light housekeeping.
❖ A Care Advisor from your local VA Medical Center will conduct an assessment to determine eligibility and level of need for services.
❖ Once eligibility is determined, a monthly budget is assigned. The Veteran and our Program Advisor will work within the approved budget to create a person-centered service plan.

Independent Living philosophy
This program operates under the independent living philosophy of consumer control, peer support, self-help, self-determination, equal access, and individual and systems advocacy to maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence, and productivity of individuals with disabilities, and their integration and full inclusion into the mainstream of American society.
Our Homes, Not Nursing Homes
Independent Living services enable West Virginians with disabilities to return to or remain in their own homes and communities and are critical to West Virginia’s compliance with the most integrated setting provision set forth in Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and upheld by the US Supreme Court in the Olmstead Decision.
