Home Care for Veterans on Cape Cod, and the Benefit Most Families Never Claim

MF Family Home Care provides veterans home care on Cape Cod for former service members and their surviving spouses. It is also the page where we tell you about money that a great many families are entitled to and never claim.

What we do not do

Your local Veterans Service Officer can tell you where you stand, and the appointment is free. Every town on the Cape has access to one.

Wartime service

Service during a recognised period of war, though not necessarily in combat or overseas.

A need for help with daily living

Bathing, dressing, mobility, medication management — exactly the help described on this page.

Income and assets

within the VA's limits, where the cost of care itself is part of the calculation.

Surviving spouses

of qualifying veterans may also be eligible, which is the part families most often miss.

How to start

One call, a free visit at home, and a written plan you can change. Most families begin smaller than they expect.

One call

Tell us what is happening and what a normal day looks like now compared with six months ago.

A visit at no cost

We come to the house and look at the practical things — the stairs, the bathroom, the kitchen, the hours when nobody is around.

A plan you can change

Most families begin smaller than they expect and adjust within the first month. No long-term contract is required to begin.

Frequently asked questions

The questions families ask us most, answered plainly.

Do you bill the VA directly?

No. We are not a VA contract provider. The benefit is generally paid to the veteran or surviving spouse, who then pays for care.

It varies considerably, and it can take months. That is a reason to start now rather than when the need becomes urgent.

Possibly. This is the most commonly missed category. It is worth asking a Veterans Service Officer.

We point you to your Veterans Service Officer, who does this properly and at no cost. Anyone charging you a fee to file a VA claim is worth a second look.

Yes, and many families do, because the need does not wait for the paperwork.

Usually within a few days. We answer the phone at night and on weekends, because these decisions are rarely made during business hours.
