Here is information regarding Veterans VIP program;
The Veterans Independence Program (VIP) is a national home care program provided by Veterans Affairs Canada. The program was established in 1981 to help clients remain healthy and independent in their own homes or communities.
VIP does not replace other federal, provincial or municipal programs. Instead it complements these programs when necessary, to best meet your needs.
VIP is only available in Canada and we service the Durham region areas of Ajax Pickering Whitby Oshawa. 905-619-1411 email

VIP Services
If you are a Veteran and qualify for VIP, the services you receive will depend on your circumstances and health needs. These services may include:
* grounds maintenance, including grass cutting and snow removal;
* housekeeping, including help with routine tasks such as doing the laundry, cleaning your home, or preparing meals;
* personal care services to assist you with personal needs, such as bathing, dressing, and eating;
* access to nutrition services, like Meals-on- Wheels and Wheels-to-Meals; and
* health and support services provided by health professionals.
Other services..
* ambulatory (out-patient) health care for certain health and social services provided outside the home, such as adult day care, and travel costs to get to these services;
* transportation costs to foster independence, for activities such as shopping, banking, and visiting friends when transportation is not otherwise available;
* home adaptations to modify things like bathrooms, kitchens and doorways so that it is easier for you to do basic everyday activities such as prepare a meal, maintain personal hygiene, and sleep. Home adaptations do not include general renovations or repairs; and
* nursing home care when living at home is no longer practical and you need a greater level of nursing and personal help.
