At SYNERGY HomeCare, we believe that honoring veterans goes beyond parades and holidays—it’s a value woven into every caregiver-client interaction. As a homecare provider, we have the unique privilege of supporting men and women who once protected our nation. Many of our clients are veterans, and caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s a way to say “thank you” each and every day.
Below are some ways we honor and celebrate our veteran clients year-round:
1. Personalized Care Rooted in Respect
Every veteran carries a story, and those stories deserve to be honored with dignity and compassion. Our caregivers understand the unique backgrounds and needs of veterans such as, physical injuries, emotional trauma, and conditions such as PTSD or memory loss. We listen and ask about each veteran’s service before creating a unique care plan that honors their preferences and history.
2. Partnering with the VA to Expand Access
SYNERGY HomeCare is proud to work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), allowing eligible veterans to receive quality care through VA benefits. We assist veterans and their families with navigating the paperwork and accessing the services they’ve earned—from personal care to companionship and mobility support. Making homecare easier to access is one way we show our gratitude.
3. Veteran Recognition All Year Long
Veterans don’t stop being heroes on Veterans Day, and we don’t stop recognizing them. Our team celebrates birthdays, military service anniversaries, and other meaningful dates with small ceremonies, cards, or tokens of appreciation. Whether it’s a flag pin, a personalized visit, or a caregiver simply listening to war stories over coffee, we find ways to make veterans feel seen.
4. Supporting Mental and Emotional Well-Being
Many veterans carry invisible wounds. Our caregivers approach every interaction with patience, empathy, and respect. By creating a calm, predictable home environment and providing companionship, we help ease the emotional burdens that can come with aging, isolation, or past trauma.
5. Caregivers Who Understand
We actively recruit caregivers who have experience with or a deep understanding of the military. This shared connection helps foster trust and comfort for clients who may find it difficult to open up. Our caregivers often develop close bonds with their veteran clients, rooted in mutual respect.
6. Celebrating Their Legacy
Our clients’ stories matter—and we make sure they’re not forgotten. From organizing scrapbooks to helping document service memories or connecting with veteran organizations, we help ensure their legacy lives on. It’s about honoring the whole person, not just the care needs.
Veterans gave us their best years in service of our country. Providing them with compassionate, respectful, and dignified homecare is the least we can do. At SYNERGY HomeCare, we are proud to serve those who once served us—and we’ll continue to celebrate, support, and honor our heroes every day of the year.
If you have a veteran loved one who could benefit from in-home support, we’re here to help. Reach out today for more information!
