Flathead County Veteran-Directed Care and Veteran Resources
The Flathead County Agency on Aging runs the Veteran-Directed Care program in Kalispell, through which a veteran hires and supervises care providers, family members included, and publishes the county's veteran resource list: the MVAD Kalispell office, the Kalispell VA clinic, and rides to the Fort Harrison VA hospital on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Also called: Veteran-Directed Care, VDC, Agency on Aging, MVAD, VA clinic, transportation, Fort Harrison, Kalispell, caregiver.
The Flathead County Agency on Aging's Veteran Resources page (updated September 9, 2026) is the county's own list of what a veteran in the Flathead Valley can reach, and it runs one programme itself.
