Palliative care

Find Care & Housing
Your County should have a VA deptment. Set up an appt to talk to the VA rep to see what the Vet is entitled to. Its hard for us to say because length of service and service related disabilities have a lot to do with what the Vet is entitled to. I would call a Hospice service and ask if someone could explain to you what pallitive and hospice care provide. Medicare also has intermediate care.

Medicare does cover palliative care and hospice care, but keep in mind palliative care only means a nurse coming once every 6 weeks to check on the patient and not much else, whereas hospice will have a nurse come once a week to start and aides to bathe your loved one.
Plus they will supply any and all needed equipment, supplies and medications all covered 100% under Medicare. You will also have access to the a social worker, chaplain, and hospice volunteer also covered 100%.
But keep in mind that even under hospice care 99% of your loved ones care will still fall on you or another family member, as they don't provide much if any hands on care.

My dad had home labs and pt on palliative, and a doctor came. He was on Kaiser Medicare Advantage.
