DAV Caregivers Support provides tailored support and resources to friends, family members and loved ones who provide care to those who served.
Not only do caregivers share in the sacrifices veterans incurred in service, but their contributions also enhance our veterans’ quality of life and save money for taxpayers who might otherwise be required to cover critical services. DAV believes the caregivers of our country’s veterans deserve their own support.
Powered by TCARE, the program allows veterans and their families to access tailored caregiver support and resources—including individual support from a trained specialist—at no cost.
Through DAV Caregivers Support, caregivers can access:
- Online resources and risk screening to better understand their role as a caregiver.
- Digital tools to support their caregiving responsibilities.
- Personalized care plans and one-on-one support from a trained caregiver specialist with experience supporting veterans and their loved ones.
By providing them with a proven support program, caregivers and the veterans they love benefit from:
- Reduced caregiver stress, depression and other negative health outcomes.
- Improved relationships between veterans and their caregivers.
- Increased resilience and ability to navigate complex caregiving responsibilities, including navigating health care systems and financial planning.

No. The VA’s Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is a federally funded program that provides caregiver support, including potential health coverage through the VA, training, respite care and stipends to offset caregiving costs.
DAV is a nonprofit and not affiliated with the VA or PCAFC, and it doesn’t have decision-making authority on VA benefits. However, if you qualify for PCAFC benefits, DAV can help you apply. Eligibility through PCAFC does not preclude use of DAV Caregivers Support.
