Our Partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs
We appreciate the many sacrifices veterans have made to protect our country. We're committed to providing veterans with uplifting home health aide services that allow them to live independently at home.
Veterans may qualify for VA benefits to cover some cost of their in-home care, and surviving spouses may qualify for respite care. VA veterans home care programs were designed for those who meet specific financial criteria and demonstrate a physical need for in-home care. Comfort Keepers is closely related to the Department of Veterans Affairs, making accessing home healthcare services easier for veterans.
Respite Care for Veteran Caregivers
Family caregivers of veterans may qualify for respite care, short-term relief from those caregiver responsibilities, through VA benefits. Comfort Keepers caregivers will ensure your loved veterans will still get the long-term care needed while you can take that necessary break.

Personal Care and Companion Care
We provide various services across two categories: personal care and companion care.
Personal care for veterans who sacrificed so much and need support with daily activities and tasks to live independently at home. Our experienced caregivers can assist with personal care such as bathing, mobility assistance, grooming, and more. Personal care is a broad term that supports basic personal hygiene and activities of daily living, including dressing, grooming, and toileting.

Companionship care, or companionship, provides veterans with emotional support, friendship, and socialization. Common home companion care activities include:
- Conversation and mental stimulation, such as playing games or listening to music
- Meal prep and time spent together over breakfast, lunch, or dinner
- Light activity, such as a walk or time spent outside
- Laundry and light housekeeping
- Technology support for appointment scheduling or grocery delivery
