Qualified caregivers sought for
veterans’ foster home program
Qualified caregivers are needed for the
Veterans Medical Foster Home program
managed by the Charlie Norwood VA
Medical Center.
Applicants would provide physical and
mental health care to veterans who are in
need of a family. Applicants must be 21
to apply.
“We're seeking competent and com
passionate caregivers,” said Hallie Cheek,
Medical Foster Home coordinator for the
VA services out of Augusta. “The veteran
is unable to live independently, but does
not wish to live in a skilled nursing facil
ity.”
The veteran pays to reside in a
VA-screened and approved medical fos
ter home with private funds like Social
Security. VA aid and attendance, or ser
vice-connected disability compensation.
The veteran’s primary medical care is
managed by the VA's interdisciplinary
home-based primary care team or spinal
cord injury home care. The rates of the
foster home are negotiated between the
veteran and the caregiver, and are based on
the veteran’s ability to pay as well as the
level of care that is required.
Caregivers must be financially stable,
own or rent their home, and have either
formal or informal caregiving experience.
A medical foster home caregiver must be
willing to accept veterans without discrim
ination on the basis of race, color, sex. age,
religion or national origin.
To apply or for more information, call
Cheek at 706-945-9447 or email her at
Hallie.Cheek@va.gov.
