VAMC system description of service

If you’re a caregiver for a Veteran, you can get support by contacting our Caregiver Support Program at 612-467-5405. If the Veteran you care for was injured, or aggravated a serious injury, in the line of duty on or before May 7, 1975, or on or after September 11, 2001, you may be eligible for even more services, including a stipend to help with expenses, training and medical coverage if you aren’t already covered. For all caregivers, we can:

  • Help you get caregiver assistance available through VA
  • Provide progressive needs planning to help you manage degenerative conditions
  • Match you with services and benefits
  • Connect you with local resources and programs
  • Listen to you when you struggle
