Home Care for Veterans in the Bay Area

As a U.S. military veteran, your senior parent or relative has done so much to serve and protect this country. As they age, you may find that someone who served as such a strong presence in your life is struggling with everyday activities and living on their own. It can be stressful to plan ahead and consider options that will help them in their golden years. Not to worry; J&M Homecare Services can help.

We’ve been providing quality home care for veterans in East Bay, North Bay, and Central Valley regions of California since 2001. If your loved one is a veteran or surviving spouse, we can help them get the assistance and support they need right in their own home. Thanks to J&M Homecare Services, nursing homes and assisted living facilities are no longer your loved one’s only options.

Benefits of Home Care for Veterans in San Ramon, Stockton, and San Rafael

As veterans age, they may find it increasingly difficult to live independently. This can be due to age-related cognitive and mobility issues, as well as many long-term health issues caused by their years of service. For example, some veterans may have trouble managing their finances or performing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Home care for veterans can help those who wish to continue living independently get the support they need to live out their golden years at home, where they’ve created so many warm memories and where they feel most comfortable.

Oftentimes, family members will assume caregiving responsibilities for an elderly loved one. However, caregiving can be difficult for some families. Your loved one’s care needs may exceed the level of support you can provide. You may live too far away to reliably provide care. You may have other responsibilities you need to juggle. In situations like these, hiring a professional caregiver from J&M Homecare Services can provide reliable home care for veterans and surviving spouses and families relief and peace of mind.
