Veterans Care Services
Veterans Program in Stratford, CT
Veterans who have served this country deserve dependable care and respect as they age or face challenges at home. At Ebenezer AFL, our Veterans Program in Stratford, CT is designed to provide specialized non-medical home care services to honorably discharged veterans and their families. Through structured, compassionate support, we ensure that those who have given so much receive the daily assistance they need to remain comfortable and independent in their own homes.
In-Home Support for Veterans
The transition from military service to civilian life comes with unique circumstances. For aging veterans or those living with service-related injuries or disabilities, certain daily tasks may become difficult to manage alone. Our caregivers assist with non-medical activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and mobility. Each care plan is adapted to the specific routines, habits, and preferences of the veteran, ensuring consistency and comfort.
Familiarity With VA Coordination
Although Ebenezer AFL does not directly administer VA benefits, we work with veterans and their families to help them understand how home care can complement services available through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Our staff is familiar with common veteran programs such as Aid and Attendance, Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care, and related eligibility criteria. When requested, we help clients document care needs and provide supporting materials that may assist with benefit applications or renewals.
Respectful and Culturally Competent Care
Many veterans appreciate working with caregivers who understand the values of service, discipline, and integrity. We ensure that every caregiver is trained not just in elder care, but also in the nuances of supporting those with a military background. Our goal is to create a respectful and dependable care environment where the veteran feels acknowledged, supported, and safe.
Assistance With Mobility and Safety
Physical limitations due to age or injury often present challenges in the home. Our caregivers provide help with mobility, transfer assistance, and guidance through household spaces to prevent slips and falls. We also monitor the general home environment and suggest simple modifications that could improve day-to-day safety, such as decluttering walkways or adjusting lighting.
Nutritional Support and Meal Services
Many veterans struggle with dietary needs due to chronic health conditions. Our caregivers help prepare and serve meals according to dietary preferences or physician-recommended guidelines. From heart-healthy plans to diabetic-friendly options, we ensure nutritional intake is never neglected.
Reliable Transportation Assistance
Attending VA appointments, visiting a local VFW, or even making a trip to the pharmacy can be difficult without reliable transport. Our team offers transportation assistance to ensure veterans are able to keep their routines, meet their medical obligations, and stay socially connected. Whether it’s a ride to a local VA clinic or help running errands in Stratford, our caregivers are there to assist.
Supporting Veteran Spouses and Widows
Our Veterans Program also extends services to the spouses or surviving spouses of veterans who may qualify for support. We provide the same level of non-medical care and attention to those who have stood beside their loved ones through military service and retirement. These services help reduce stress, support daily living, and offer companionship when it’s needed most.
