Get a VA needs assessment.\r\nThe VA will evaluate what kind of help your parent needs and how many hours they may approve.\r\n3. Ask to use Touching Hearts at Home.\r\nOnce home care is approved, you can request us as your provider. Because we\u2019re VA\u2011approved, we can coordinate with the VA team and get services started once authorization is in place.
