Veterans Independence Program (VIP)

The Veterans Independence Program is a national home care program provided by Veterans Affairs Canada. The program was established in 1981 to help clients remain healthy and independent in their own homes or communities.

VIP does not replace other federal, provincial or municipal programs. Instead it complements these programs when necessary, to best meet the needs of our clients.

VIP is only available in Canada. It cannot be offered to clients who live outside of Canada.
