The Wisconsin Veteran Self-Directed Program allows eligible veterans and their families choose the services and supports they need to safely and successfully live at home. Services may include:
• Personal care
• Supportive home care
• Adult day care
• Assistive technology
• Home-delivered meals
• Respite care

How Does It Work?

VA staff identify and refer the veteran to GWAAR and a Care Consultant is assigned. GWAAR’s Care Consultants provide support to empower veterans to manage their own care—from plan to payments.

Veterans may be eligible for the program if enrolled in primary care with the following VA Medical Centers:

  • Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center (Milwaukee catchment area);
  • Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (North Chicago catchment area for Veterans residing in WI);
  • Minneapolis VA Medical Center (Minneapolis catchment area for Veterans residing in WI)
  • Tomah VA Medical Center (Tomah catchment area); 
  • William S. Middleton VA Medical Center (Madison catchment area)

 

Contact your VA primary care provider to learn more and to see if you are eligible to be referred.
