Professional Home Care for Veterans in The Villages, Lake County, Marion County and Sumter County

Veteran home care services generally include non-medical companion and personal care. This covers everything from household duties (like cooking, cleaning and laundry) to individual needs (such as bathing and hygiene, continence and toileting care, and mobility assistance). Additionally, our team can help clients with VA paperwork and other needs. As a veteran home care provider based in the Villages, we also offer traumatic injury care, recovery support after surgery, hospice care and much 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.

While home care for veterans does not always have a disability component, our team at FirstLight Home Care of The Villages 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. Whether your family member lives in The Villages or elsewhere in Lake County, Marion County or Sumter County, we can address their unique care needs.

Veteran home care is unique in that it can encompass many other types of care. This includes (but is not limited to) companion care, personal care services that ensure proper hygiene, senior care to help keep the household organized and respite care for familial caregivers. We recognize that veterans often face unique challenges shaped by their service, from specific health conditions to deeply ingrained routines and values forged during military life, and keep these factors top-of-mind while caring for our clients.

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 provides the highest level of care and comfort for your loved one while helping them retain their independence. Unlike facilities with predetermined schedules, our personalized approach adapts to each client’s unique preferences and needs. With FirstLight Home Care of The Villages, veterans receive one-on-one attention from experienced caregivers who understand their individual journey and military service.

Our in-home caregivers undergo specialized training that goes beyond standard home care services. This includes understanding military culture and values, recognizing service-related conditions and using communication approaches that respect veterans’ unique life experiences. We also take the time to match veterans with caregivers who can form meaningful connections based on shared understanding and respect.
