Attention War Veterans and Surviving Spouses!
Did you know you may be entitled to receive financial benefits to help pay for home care services and assistance?

The Veterans Aid & Attendance benefit program was established to assist qualifying veterans in financing home care services.  Those veterans who honorably served their country in a time of conflict, and have a documented medical need related to daily living, may be eligible for benefits to pay for home care services.  This applies to war-time veterans and surviving spouses.  There is no age limit/requirement, no look back period, and no cost to apply for these benefits.

To learn more, plan to attend an informational session.  Or call John Miller at Home Care Partners directly at 781-378-2164.
