Quote "It has helped me and my family so much financially, and having the peace of mind just knowing that I'm not dealing with a stranger in my home - that my spouse is my caregiver...well, there's no way to put a price on that." - A.S., VIP Participant. Text: What is the Veterans Independence Program (VIP)? CPWD's Veterans Independence Program (VIP) is funded by the VA and allows Veterans to receive care in their homes. VIP gives Veterans choice and power - you can choose whomever you want to care for you, be it a family member, friend, professional caregiver, or team of service providers. VIP helps Veterans of all ages who need non-medical support with daily living (such as bathing, getting dressed, and cooking meals). VIP also gives family members of Veterans a chance to take care of their loved ones while maintaining an income. Image description: A man is seated in a camp chair outside. He is wearing an army camouflage uniform. He has one prosthetic leg. He is smiling, and has short black hair. Behind him is forest.
