Alpenglow Homecare of Montana is an approved community provider within the TriWest VA Community Care Network (CCN). We deliver authorized, non-medical in-home support to eligible Veterans across our Montana communities.
Our focus is on helping you manage everyday activities, like personal care, mobility, meals, and household routines, so you can safely maintain your independence and remain comfortable in your own home
VA Community Care allows eligible Veterans to receive care from approved providers in the community when certain needs are met.
In this case, in-home support refers to non-medical personal care and daily living assistance provided in the home. This type of support is often used when a Veteran needs help with routine activities but does not require medical or nursing care.
It is important to understand that:
Alpenglow Homecare of Montana works within this system as a community provider, delivering approved support services after a VA referral or authorization is in place.
Our services focus on helping you manage daily life more safely and comfortably at home. These are non-medical services designed to make everyday home life for Veterans easier, safer, and more manageable.
Depending on your VA authorization, support may include the following.
Dignified help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and morning or evening routines.
Assistance with grocery planning, cooking nutritious meals, and maintaining regular eating schedules.
Helping you move safely around your home, transfer comfortably from bed to chair, and minimize fall risks.
Keeping your living space clean and manageable with basic laundry, tidying, and light organization.
General assistance with routines and activities that have become difficult to manage independently.
Supportive presence and engagement as part of ongoing care and daily interaction.
Every care plan is based on what has been approved through your VA referral.
You may benefit from VA-authorized in-home care if you:
Family members and caregivers also benefit from having reliable, consistent support, especially when they carry the full weight of daily caregiving responsibilities.
If any of these situations sound familiar, it may be worth exploring what options are available through VA Community Care.

It’s important to note:
Our focus is simple: providing reliable, respectful support at home, based on what has been approved for your care.
Navigating the VA bureaucracy can feel overwhelming. We work closely within the system to make your transition to home care as smooth as possible. Here is the step-by-step path to starting care.
You talk to your VA provider, care team, or social worker about needing help at home.
The VA reviews your medical necessity and clinical framework to determine if community-based, in-home personal care is appropriate for your situation.
Once approved for the Community Care program, inform your VA coordinator that you would like to use Alpenglow Homecare of Montana as your preferred network provider.
The VA generates a formal referral and authorization detailing the approved number of care hours and the specific duration of your services, then transmits it directly to our team.
As soon as we receive the VA authorization, our local care coordinator touches base to schedule an in-home visit. We will design a routine that respects your schedule and begin delivering your authorized care.
This process ensures that the care you receive aligns with your needs and is approved through the VA system.
No, this is an important distinction. The services we provide through VA Community Care are:
This is different from programs where Veterans manage their own care budget or hire family members directly.
If you’re unsure which program applies to your situation, your VA care team can help guide you.
When a Veteran begins to need more help at home, it often affects the entire household. You can seek this type of support when:
Daily tasks have become more difficult to manage alone
A spouse or family member is carrying too much responsibility
Safety at home is becoming a concern
Additional support can improve the quality of life for everyone involved
The right in-home support can help create a more stable, manageable routine at home.
If you or your loved one has already received a VA referral for community-based home care, our team is ready to step in.
In case you are just starting to explore your options, your first step is to contact your regional VA healthcare provider to discuss eligibility and next steps. You can also reach out to our team. We’re here to help you understand how the TriWest network operates or what to ask your coordinator.
