Providing Veteran Care Services to Chattanooga and the Surrounding Areas

Veteran home 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. Our caregiving team receives specialized training for veteran-specific considerations and can provide some assistance with helping clients work with Veterans Affairs. As a veteran home care provider based in Chattanooga, we also offer traumatic injury care, errand services, travel companionship and more. 

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 in addition to in-home care for veterans, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.  

Though home care for veterans does not always include disability care, our team at FirstLight Home Care of Chattanooga is trained to help your loved one with disability-related issues, such as getting in and out of a vehicle or bed, moving around the house, climbing stairs or maintaining proper posture. We address both visible and invisible disabilities as part of our in-home care for veterans, so they feel supported. Whether your family member lives in Chattanooga or elsewhere in Hamilton County, McDonald or Cleveland, we can address their unique care needs.  

In-home care for veterans is different 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. When you choose FirstLight for veteran home care, you’re choosing a partner who will support your family member with compassion and professional expertise through exceptional care. 

While putting your loved one into a care facility may sound like the easiest route, they will be much happier in their own home. Our home care for veterans in the Chattanooga area provides the highest level of care and comfort for your family member while helping them retain their independence. Veterans can receive one-on-one attention from experienced caregivers who understand their individual journey and military service with FirstLight.
