Providing Veteran Care Services to Pueblo and the Surrounding Areas

Veteran care services can include non-medical companion and personal care that covers everything from companionship and household duties like cooking, cleaning and laundry to individual needs such as bathing and hygiene, continence and toileting care, and mobility assistance. Select FirstLight offices also provide skilled nursing care. 

The Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension is a benefit that helps reduce the cost of care for older veterans and their surviving spouses. Veterans and their spouses who require the regular aid and attendance of another person (for activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, medication monitoring and other veteran care services) may qualify for this special benefit in addition to a monthly pension. To learn more about Aid and Attendance benefits, military service qualifications and how you may benefit from these services, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 

While home care for veterans does not always have a disability component, select FirstLight caregivers are trained to help your loved one with mobility-related issues such as getting in and out of a vehicle or bed, moving around the house, climbing stairs or maintaining proper posture. Contact us today to discover if our veteran care services cover what you are seeking. 

In-home care for veterans is unique in that it can encompass many other types of care, including but not limited to companion care to keep your loved one social and combat loneliness, personal care services to ensure proper hygiene, senior care to help keep the household organized and respite care to give familial caregivers much-needed time away. 

While putting your loved one into a care facility may sound like the easiest route, they will be much happier in their own home. FirstLight Home Care’s veteran care services provide the highest level of care and comfort for your loved one while helping them retain their independence.
