Description
Stuti Dang and co-authors study the Veteran Directed Care program in a 2023 mixed methods paper. The program lets veterans choose their own home services and hire their own providers, aiming to delay or avoid institutional care. Veterans Affairs plans to expand it to every facility by fiscal year 2026, but what helps or blocks growth was poorly known.
The team surveyed and interviewed staff, partner aging agencies, and leaders across seven programs in one regional network between May 2022 and January 2023. Programs varied widely in size and structure. Staff praised the program's quality for veterans but asked for more staff, a dedicated coordinator, standard procedures, and better education for referring providers. Local caregiver shortages also hampered some sites.
