Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025

This bill would let the Department of Veterans Affairs treat nurse registries as approved providers in the Veterans Community Care Program. That means veterans could get in‑home care and support from nurses and aides who are matched through a licensed registry, not just through traditional agencies. The bill defines a “nurse registry” as a person or business that connects licensed nurses and trained caregivers with patients or facilities and meets state licensing rules. In short, it broadens who can deliver covered care, making it easier for veterans to find help at home.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans using the Community Care Program; registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, companions, and homemakers who work through registries.
• What changes: Nurse registries would be recognized as eligible providers, so their caregivers can be paid for covered services through VA community care.
• What it means for daily life: More options for in‑home health and support services, potentially faster access to care and more caregiver choices for veterans and families.
