Honoring Heroes: How We Provide Specialized Care for Veterans
As we approach Veterans Day, it’s critical to recognize the heroes among us who have fought so bravely for our freedom. Visiting Angels of White Plains’ staff extends our gratitude to those in our local and national community who have given their service and invite you to do the same. In addition to recognizing veterans this November, Visiting Angels of White Plains also offers year-round specialized care for those who have served our nation.
How Visiting Angels White Plains Cares for Local Veterans
Visiting Angels of White Plains is an authorized provider in the VA Community Care Network. Our home health aide care for veterans is specifically tailored to those men and women who have served our country. The following list includes distinctive ways we give back to these individuals and honor their sacrifices.
- Addressing physical, emotional, and mental health needs: From physical care to emotional trauma, our caregivers help support veterans in their journeys to recovery.
- Offering PTSD support: Beyond assisting veterans with seeking and finding care for their mental health, Visiting Angels also offers compassion and understanding in all aspects of our duties.
- Mobility assistance: Transferring can be challenging for some veterans, especially those who may struggle with chronic conditions or lost limbs. We assist with safe transfers in and around the house, as well as on the go, when out running errands or attending appointments.
- Medication management: Our caregivers help seniors adhere to their medication schedules, communicate observed side effects, and convey any concerns to their healthcare providers.
- Assistance with VA benefits: Applying for VA benefits can be challenging, so our caregivers assist seniors with the entire process, from gathering and filling out paperwork to submitting it and making any necessary changes.
- Chronic pain management: Our caregivers provide seniors with non-medical strategies to address chronic pain caused by injuries or conditions related to service.
- Socialization: Companionship can help seniors embrace the now and work through the past with someone at their side. Socialization can also ward off loneliness and depression.
The staff at Visiting Angels of White Plains honors and respects our veterans for their service and sacrifice. We acknowledge their contributions to our country’s ability to remain free and value their experiences. Our job as caregivers is to ensure dignity, comfort, and quality of life at every opportunity.
