Veteran Companion Care Services: Tailored Support for Those Who Served

Veterans are very special people, having made significant sacrifices to protect and serve our country. At ameriCARE, we believe these brave men and women deserve the highest level of dignified, respectful companion CARE

Whether Veterans are returning from combat with new health challenges or simply need an extra hand as they age, our Veteran CARE services are designed to provide customized, compassionate support to meet their unique needs.

Understanding the Unique Needs of Veterans

Veterans represent a unique and diverse group with specific health and wellness needs that require tailored support. At ameriCARE, we recognize these needs and are dedicated to addressing them with compassion and respect. Here’s a closer look at some of the critical issues Veterans face and how we aim to support them.

Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a significant concern among older Veterans. Studies indicate that about 15% of older Veterans in home-based primary care are malnourished, and 40% are at risk of malnutrition. This higher rate of malnutrition among Veterans compared to the general population is often linked to chronic conditions, mental health challenges, and food insecurity.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD is a common issue among Veterans. The emergence of PTSD symptoms later in life, especially after retirement, can correlate with the onset of dementia, complicating the care and quality of life for older Veterans​.

Ongoing Health Issues

Veterans are more likely than non-Veterans to experience multiple chronic conditions. Approximately 25% of older Veterans report having two or more chronic health issues, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. These conditions require comprehensive and continuous care to manage effectively.
