Already receiving VA home care? Six questions before you request more hours.
❓ Has what I need help with actually changed?
❓ Which tasks am I now avoiding rather than doing slowly?
❓ Who do I tell first — my aide, or my VA social worker?
❓ Will this need a new assessment?
❓ How long does a change take to take effect?
❓ What happens to my schedule in the meantime?
Question two is the one people miss in themselves. Avoiding a task isn't managing it.
Common moments to ask: after a hospital stay, after a fall, or when a ten-minute task starts taking an hour.
