Their sacrifice kept this country our home; lets help them stay in theirs'
Our warriors deserve to stay in their homes with dignity and respect receiving the care they need.
No Veteran Waits
Home Care for Veterans
We provide immediate home care funding for veterans who are waiting on VA-approved services.
Too many veterans are approved for homecare but face dangerous delays before services begin. During that gap, families are overwhelmed and vulnerable veterans are left without the support they need.
No Veteran Waits Foundation steps in to fund short-term, in-home care so veterans can remain safe, dignified, and supported while their VA benefits are finalized.

Answer the Phone
Many veterans do not ask for help until they are already in crisis. By the time support is sought, community social workers are often involved because the veteran is facing serious injury, repeated hospitalizations, or worse without proper care at home. Most veterans cannot afford to move into high-end retirement communities with on-staff medical aides. Instead, they rely on family—if they are fortunate enough to have loved ones who can provide care—or they struggle, and suffer until they stop answering the phone.
We'll never know
The Department of Veterans Affairs provides homecare and respite benefits for veterans who qualify, but the approval process can take a few months. Unfortunately, these benefits don't come quick enough. Many veterans do not survive long enough to receive these services. In that short window, meaningful care could have improved their quality of life—or even extended their time with loved ones. We’ll never know what might have been possible.
All they can do.
When a veteran has no immediate family, they often rely on a friend, neighbor, pastor, or caring community member to check on them. These individuals do all they can do, but goodwill alone cannot replace professional care. Life changes quickly—tasks that were once simple, like getting to the toilet, can suddenly require assistance. Hospice may provide limited hours, yet homecare is still recommended and often unaffordable. Even when veterans have children, many are supporting families of their own. Our communities care deeply and do all they can do, but without support, it is never enough.
Our Impact
Honoring their service through community support.
Arthur's Story
Like many veterans, Arthur suffered in silence because he didn’t want to be a burden.
After a hospital stay, a hospice social worker visited his home. His dementia had progressed, and the condition of his home and overall well-being told a difficult story. It was clear he could no longer manage safely on his own.
The social worker helped Arthur apply for VA-funded home care, but the approval process would take months. In the meantime, his safety was at risk.
She worried that without immediate support, she would have no choice but to recommend placement in a facility.
Charity for a Hero
The hospice agency contacted No Veteran Waits Foundation for help.
We immediately provided funding for short-term, in-home care through a trusted home care provider. Arthur began receiving daily support — companionship, medication reminders, assistance with bathing and mobility, meal preparation, and help maintaining a safe, clean home.
With consistent care, Arthur’s health stabilized. His stress decreased. His smile returned.
Two months later, the VA approved the home care services he had earned.
Arthur never had to leave the home he loved.
Ida's forgotten Sacrifices
Most people who met Ida would never have known she was one of our nation’s heroes. She rarely spoke about her service — not because it didn’t matter, but because she had no one nearby to share it with. Her children were raising families of their own in other parts of the country.
Over time, Ida began forgetting things. Simple tasks became difficult. She needed help, but neither she nor her children could afford in-home care. As her health declined, her doctor contacted the VA for assistance.
Ida did not want to leave the home she built — the home she worked for — the home she had lived in for more than 30 years.
Charity for a Hero
While the VA application was being processed, time became Ida’s greatest risk.
That’s when No Veteran Waits Foundation stepped in. We provided immediate funding for short-term, in-home care so Ida could remain safe while waiting for her VA-approved services to begin. A caregiver helped with meals, medication reminders, and daily support — restoring stability and peace inside the home she loved.
When the VA services finally started, Ida was still where she wanted to be — at home.
