As we observe National Military Appreciation Month and Memorial Day this May, we extend our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country in the past and the present. SYNERGY HomeCare is honored to be a proud partner of our country’s veteran-serving organizations, and as part of the celebration, we want to highlight some of the ways you can provide veterans with the care, respect, and dignity they deserve.
Why Veteran Care at Home Matters
Our veterans have made countless sacrifices during their service, many of which create long-lasting challenges once they return home. From service-related injuries to other unique needs that require specialized care, SYNERGY HomeCare’s Veteran Care Program outlines a variety of ways to enhance the quality of life for a veteran.
Compassionate In-Home Care Services for Veterans
SYNERGY HomeCare’s professional caregivers can help veterans with:
• Personal care assistance – Helping with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, or meal preparation.
• Companion care – Offering companionship, conversation, and emotional support.
• Medication reminders – Helping manage prescribed treatments.
• Transportation services – Getting veterans to and from their appointments or helping run errands.
• Familial respite care – Giving family caregivers time to themselves while their loved one receives the high-quality care they deserve.
Navigating VA Benefits for In-Home Support
The majority of SYNERGY HomeCare agencies across the country are contracted with the VA as approved providers, allowing them to help navigate many of the complexities that come with VA benefits programs, including the following:
• VA Aid & Attendance: This provides financial assistance to eligible veterans who need help with activities of daily living.
• Homemaker and Home Health Aide (HHA): This program provides in-home assistance to veterans who require more hands-on personal care.
Meaningful Ways to Honor Military Service
Outside of looking for professional assistance for the veterans in your life, you can also do your part to honor their sacrifice by:
• Expressing your gratitude – A simple “thank you for your service” can go a long way.
• Volunteering your time – Especially if you’re part of a military family, your local American Legion or other military-related community organization could greatly benefit from an extra set of hands around their Memorial Day festivities.
• Everyday Acts That Show Veterans You Care – Whether it’s a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or cousin, Memorial Day is the perfect time to get together with the veterans that mean the most to you and to let them know they’re appreciated.
• Veteran-Owned Home Care: A Special Connection – Many SYNERGY HomeCare companies are veteran-owned and operated, and this time of the year is particularly special to them. Look for the veteran-led businesses nearest to you and use their services to show your appreciation.
