For many of us in the United States, military service touches our lives, whether through family, friends, or our communities. Our veterans have sacrificed so much and genuinely deserve our heartfelt gratitude, compassion, and care. Sadly, many of these brave individuals feel isolated and face daily challenges with tasks most of us take for granted, like preparing meals, keeping up with household chores, or managing their own wellbeing.
As veterans grow older, it becomes more important to provide the support they need to remain independent at home. After years spent in service to our country, these individuals deserve dignity, comfort, and attentive care. By investing in the health of our senior veterans, we help them enjoy a higher quality of life and honor their commitment to us all.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizes these needs and provides veterans home care funding in Tucson, AZ, to assist servicepeople and their loved ones. What many families don't realize is that long-term care options - including in-home care - are included in programs like ameriCARE's Veteran CARE services.
Today, many of our veterans are vulnerable to a variety of issues that can impact their quality of life. However, through our Veteran CARE services, we're able to provide customized, compassionate care that addresses those issues and provides families like yours with peace of mind. Whether they're returning from combat with new health challenges or simply need an extra hand throughout the day as they age, our team is here to help.
Our agency owners are dedicated to guiding veterans through the process of accessing their benefits and understanding their eligibility. This important service, available at many of our franchise locations, empowers veterans to overcome the often confusing world of entitlements. With empathy and expertise, we strive to honor veterans by delivering personalized care and knowledgeable guidance, supporting them in living fuller, more independent lives.
The VA offers valuable benefits that include coverage for home health aide and homemaker services to veterans who require help with daily living activities. Through collaboration with one of our care partners, we learned that, out of more than 8 million veterans in the VA healthcare system aged 65 and older, only about 150,000 are utilizing this support. This means fewer than 2 percent of eligible veterans are getting the care they've rightfully earned. In some cases, such as with "Aid and Attendance," surviving spouses of veterans may also be eligible for benefits.
ameriCARE is committed to linking veterans and seniors nationwide with compassionate, highly trained caregivers from their own communities. We're proud to say that our mission goes beyond care - in fact, we're happy to help guide veterans and their families through the complexities of the VA system, offering hands-on support during the entire approval process. Many of our franchise owners team members are veterans themselves, who are dedicated to ensuring you or your loved one receives reliable, personalized care at home.
Regardless of how long they served, many military veterans leave service with a litany of health issues - both mental and physical. Some of the most common problems that older veterans face after leaving the military include
Research from the National Center for PTSD reveals that as many as 23% of veterans will experience post-traumatic stress disorder during their lifetime. For some, symptoms may not surface until later years, often following retirement. Notably, the development or worsening of PTSD in older adults has been linked to an increased risk of dementia, suggesting a complex relationship between trauma and cognitive decline as veterans age.
A recent study featured in the National Library of Medicine examined the prevalence of malnutrition among older veterans receiving home-based primary care. The researchers discovered that 15% of these individuals were classified as malnourished, highlighting a significant health concern within this population. Malnutrition in elderly veterans can lead to a range of complications, such as weakened immune response, slower recovery from illness, and increased risk of hospitalization. These issues underscore the need for veterans home care funding in Tucson, AZ that helps seniors with eating and nutrition challenges.
Studies show that older veterans face a 25% higher likelihood of reporting multiple chronic health issues compared to their nonveteran peers. This trend underscores the unique health challenges veterans may encounter as they age, which often stem from service-related injuries, stress, and more.
Veterans often carry the weight of their service, having endured challenging circumstances and shouldered responsibility for the security of others. As they grow older, preserving their sense of independence becomes deeply intertwined with their mental and emotional health. For many, shifting from self-reliance to accepting help with everyday activities can be a significant adjustment.
A skilled caregiver who understands veterans' unique backgrounds can make this transition smoother. Building trust through respect for personal boundaries, clear communication, and trauma-informed care is essential to fostering a strong partnership between veterans and their in-home caregivers.
Many ameriCARE locations provide their caregivers with specialized training to better support our veterans as veteran cases can be complex and deserve tailored care.
Our caregivers offer support with meal preparation, grocery shopping, and managing dietary needs. They also encourage healthy habits and lifestyle choices, ensuring you or your loved one receives personalized nutrition and wellness guidance.
Tasks like bathing, using the restroom, getting dressed, and maintaining oral hygiene can become challenging because of aging or ongoing health conditions. Our dedicated caregivers are specially trained to assist with these personal routines and always prioritize the veteran's comfort, privacy, and self-esteem.
A tidy living space does more than promote good hygiene. It fosters a sense of comfort, security, and overall wellbeing. Our caregivers help with everyday household tasks, making sure your home remains a safe, inviting, and organized environment.
When driving becomes a challenge, whether for you or a veteran family member, our caregivers step in to help. They can handle errands such as grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, ensuring appointments are kept, and providing reliable support for many other daily needs.
In-home caregivers from ameriCARE are dedicated to supporting your loved one's mobility and safety. From accompanying them on short walks to guiding them through physical therapy routines, we help promote regular movement and keep them engaged in activities that support their health and independence.
Our caregivers foster engagement by offering gentle support and uplifting encouragement. We create opportunities for veterans to participate in enriching activities, make social connections, and develop genuine bonds with their in-home caregivers.
We can accompany you or the older veteran in your life to medical appointments. We can also help relay any information or instructions provided by doctors.
Coping with the effects of aging, disability, or recovery from injury often involves juggling multiple medications with specific timing and dosages. Our caregivers can help ensure that you or your veteran loved one receives the correct medications at the right times, providing peace of mind while supporting overall health.
Our comprehensive care extends to beloved pets as well. We can assist with daily dog walks, feeding routines, arranging transportation for vet visits, and maintaining pet hygiene. By helping with day-to-day chores like pet care, we help enhance the wellbeing of senior veterans and their animal companions.
While many veterans have a primary care physician or a home health care professional, they may still need a real human connection beyond medical care. Veteran-funded home care can help you or your loved one maintain a more balanced life, one visit at a time. That's where ameriCARE comes in. We work tirelessly to connect dedicated, welltrained, and dependable caregivers to veterans across the United States.
If you're looking for a locally-owned home care company that provides veterans with personalized support, Request More Info today. It would be our honor to help you and your family navigate the VA and to act as your liaison throughout the benefit approval process.

Tommaso Ciampa has only been in All Elite Wrestling for just over one month.
And already a lot has happened.
Ciampa made his memorable promotional debut on the January 28 episode of AEW Dynamite, answering an open challenge from then-TNT Champion Mark Briscoe. He would go on to defeat Briscoe in his first match in AEW just three days later, capturing the TNT Championship in his AEW in-ring debut on the January 31 episode of AEW Collision.
The former WWE Superstar and #DIY tag-team member would rebrand the title as “Sylvie,” and drew a strong attachment to it, only to lose it 11 days later to Kyle Fletcher on the February 11 episode of AEW Dynamite.
Since then, Ciampa has vowed to do whatever it takes to get “Sylvie” back.
On Saturday night, Ciampa returned to in-ring action on the March 7 episode of AEW Collision, losing to Daniel Garcia of The Death Riders in the second match of the evening after the FTR vs. The Rascalz AEW World Tag-Team Championship opener.
The finish of the bout saw Ciampa’s friend, Mark Briscoe, at ringside arguing with his opponent, Garcia, which led to Briscoe accidentally clashing heads with Ciampa, allowing Garcia to roll him up for the win.
Following the match, Briscoe attempted to mend fences with Ciampa, who wanted none of it, slapping his hand away. As Briscoe was leaving, FTR made their way out, and it looked as though Ciampa was about to fall victim to a two-on-one beatdown after his rough recent history with Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler.
Instead, Briscoe came back down to the ring, so FTR opted against an attack.
Or so it seemed.
As Briscoe and Ciampa, seemingly on the same page again, exited the ring and began to walk to the back together, Ciampa attacked Briscoe out of nowhere, throwing him head-first into the LED boards on the entrance stage. He then ran and blasted him with a flying knee, leaving him laying and spitting on his trademark bandana to add insult to injury.
After his despicable actions, Ciampa looked back to the ring, where Harwood and Wheeler were seen smiling, clapping and nodding their heads in approval at what Ciampa had just done.
Later in the show, Briscoe spoke backstage, issuing a challenge to Ciampa and FTR to face himself and The Young Bucks in a trios match on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite on March 11 from the San Jose Civic Center in San Jose, CA.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A major traffic change takes effect Tuesday as construction begins on the 22nd Street bridge in Tucson.
The stretch of 22nd Street between Tucson Boulevard and Cherrybell Stravenue will close starting Tuesday morning. The project, which the Department of Transportation and Mobility says is Tucson's largest construction project to date, is expected to take three years to complete.
The existing bridge was built in 1966. The new bridge will expand the crossing from four lanes to six and will add eight-foot-wide pedestrian and bike lanes.
Drivers will be detoured around the closure using Broadway to the north and 36th Street to the south, with connections through Park Avenue, Kino Parkway, Country Club, and Alvernon.
Earl Grissette, owner of Automated Presort Services & Digital Print, said the added construction will leave another area in Tucson congested until the project is finished.
"We have construction on Irvington, Grant, Speedway, Park. So, getting around is getting a little bit more difficult."
Grissette said the impact is already being felt near the bridge.
"We see the traffic coming and going daily, and over the last few days, it's been really backed up."
Juan Carreon Jr., manager at Nico's Mexican Food, said his family has operated the restaurant near the bridge for 25 years. He expects the closure to affect how customers reach the business.
"I think it's going to slow a lot of the traffic because a lot of people use this to go to the freeway."
Carreon Jr. said he is already adjusting his own route and is preparing for the disruption.
"Since I'm coming from the east, I'm going to have to come through the 36th way, through the post office way."
Some business owners said off-camera that their main concern is customer access once the road closures take effect. Others say the long-term improvements could make a difference.
"We're staying positive. Three years is a long time, but I mean, we've been here 25 years," Carreon Jr. said.
Natalie Grissette, also an owner of Automated Presort Services & Digital Print, said she sees the value in the project despite the lengthy timeline.
"I think that it's great that they're expanding it because it does need it. But, you know, three years… but I think it's amazing. It's going to be so awesome."
The city urges drivers and cyclists to plan ahead and follow the detours.

A SWAT operation was carried out in Tucson, Arizona, as part of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. War Reporter posted that “unconfirmed reports indicate” the Tucson home targeted in the SWAT action is owned by Baird Greene.
Separate responses from Grok, X’s AI chatbot, also referenced claims circulating on the platform naming Greene in connection with the property.
However, officials have not publicly confirmed the ownership of the raided home, and CNN reported that a man identified as Carlos was briefly detained on February 13, per local time, and released without charges.
Authorities have confirmed that evidence collected during the operation is being analyzed.

Publicly available professional information indicates that Baird Greene is currently an attorney with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, serving in the Tucson section.
He previously worked as Chief Deputy at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, where he was sworn in around early 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile.
There has been no official statement naming Greene as a suspect in the Nancy Guthrie case. Law enforcement agencies have not announced any charges or allegations against him, and online claims linking him to the SWAT-targeted property remain unverified.
Additionally, investigators have found DNA at Guthrie’s Arizona property that does not belong to her or those close to her, officials said. The DNA is being tested, along with several gloves discovered up to 10 miles away from the residence.

According to CNN, the FBI has doubled its reward for information to $100,000 and is seeking surveillance footage from residents within a two-mile radius of the home from about a month before February 1, when authorities believe she was abducted.

TUCSON, Arizona – The Post retraced Nancy Guthrie’s final route home before she vanished – a path that began under the glow of commercial lights and at least one surveillance camera before plunging into long, unlit stretches of desert road.
Guthrie was a passenger on the roughly 11-minute, 4.3-mile drive back to her Catalina Foothills house around 9:45 p.m. on Jan. 31, according to law enforcement. Her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, drove her home after nearly four hours spent with him and his wife, Annie, at their home.
Leaving the couple’s three-bedroom, two-bathroom abode on West Ternero Street, the most direct route would have taken Cioni east just a few hundred yards from the driveway, past four modest homes set back from the road, before veering slightly right onto West Las Lomitas Road.
As the vehicle approached the busy, six-lane North Oracle Road – where Cioni would have needed to wait for a break in traffic in order to make a left turn – it would have been flanked by a Sherwin-Williams paint store and Salvation Army on the right, and a Circle K gas station on the left.
Six days after Guthrie, 84, was discovered missing from her home – just hours after law enforcement said Cioni dropped her off without a hitch – investigators reportedly obtained security surveillance footage from the Oracle Road Circle K gas station.
Convenience store employees handed over the tape after cops received “a tip regarding a vehicle of interest” in the case, Pima County authorities said – but no more information about the car or the footage had been released as of Friday, which marked the 13th day of the desperate search for Guthrie, who is the mother to “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie.
Once Cioni began heading north on the busy freeway, the car would be within just yards of commercial establishments, including a Hampton by Hilton hotel, a Chevron gas station, Chase and Wells Fargo banks, and a myriad of independent restaurants, The Post found.
And despite being set back a little farther from the road, retail storefronts including Dollar Tree and T.J. Maxx would still be within plain sight of the vehicle during that nearly one-mile stretch of North Oracle Road, before Cioni’s car would have taken a right turn onto East Orange Grove Road.
But almost instantly, any light given off from the businesses and street lights would disappear on the streetlamp-less, windy two-lane street, where the car – flanked by only desert brush and saguaro – would drive for almost two miles before taking a sudden right turn onto East Camino la Zorrela.
There, across from the entrance to the parking lot of the sprawling Catalina Foothills Church, a large, Pima County Sheriff Department-provided sign blares the message, “Warning / Neighborhood Watch / Our community is watching / Suspicious activity is immediately reported to 9-1-1.”
Following another half mile of dark, windy, residential road, Cioni’s car would have made its final turn onto Guthrie’s street: North Camino Escalante.
Cioni dropped his mother-in-law off, making sure she got inside her home safely, Nanos said, before driving away back home through the dark, windy streets, then past the hotels and restaurants and the Circle K.
Nancy has not been seen since.
The mobile-challenged matriarch was reported missing by noon the next day after she failed to appear at a friend’s house to watch a livestreamed church service – a longtime Sunday ritual for Guthrie.
Since then, authorities have maintained they don’t have a primary suspect nor any viable leads.
On Thursday, Savannah’s NBC colleague Liz Kreutz revealed that Guthrie’s neighbors were asked to hand over footage from their own doorbell cameras during two specific time frames – between 9 p.m. and midnight on Jan. 11, as well as between 9:30 and 11 a.m. on Jan. 31.
Additionally, Kreutz reported that neighbors had been questioned about their vehicles, specifically whether they “have a truck.”
On Thursday, the FBI released a description of the person caught on Guthrie’s Nest camera, armed and lurking at her front door.
The FBI said the suspect is a man, approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and has an average build.
The feds also doubled the reward to $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie or her captor.
