Veterans Independence Program

Assisting Veterans who need at-home assistance to remain independent

The Veterans Independence Program (VIP) is a consumer-directed, fee-for-service program funded by the VA that allow veterans who need help with daily activities to remain at home instead of institutional facilities. The veteran can hire a caregiver of their choosing, including a family member, friend or professional, as a paid position.

Am I A Good Fit For VIP?

If the following sounds like you, you may be a good fit for the Veteran’s Independence Program:

I live on the Front Range of Colorado, northeastern Colorado, southern Wyoming, or western Nebraska.
My disability impacts my daily living activities.
I’m on VA medical benefits.
I’m a self-starter and value independence greatly.
I’m tired of others making choices for me and have the capacity to control my own care.
I want to stay home with family – and out of assisted living homes.
I’m willing to make an effort to live a more independent day-to-day life.
I might have a family member or service provider already in mind.

The VIP Program is a hub and spoke model in which Connections is a subcontractor of Center for People with Disabilities and they are contracted through the Veterans’ Affairs. All interest is referred to CPWD and they’ll contact you for further instruction.
