SE Illinois Agency on Aging
The Southeastern Illinois Agency on Aging offers the Veterans Independence Program (VIP), a pioneering initiative designed to provide veterans with the support they need to maintain their independence while living at home. This flexible program allows veterans to tailor their assistance based on individual needs and preferences, empowering them to manage their own care and choose their service providers.
Through the guidance of trained options counselors, veterans can create personalized support plans using approved VA funds, enabling them to hire and oversee their own helpers for various tasks. The VIP program emphasizes autonomy and control, ensuring that veterans can confidently remain in their homes while receiving the necessary assistance to lead comfortable and independent lives.
