Did you know that there are financial benefits available for Veterans or their surviving spouses for non-service connected disabilities?

The Veteran's Administration has established a pension program whereby your purchase of personal care and attendant services may be paid for through your acquired pension.

If you are a Veteran, or the surviving spouse of a Veteran, and you are in need of assistance at HOME, you may be eligible for the VA's non-service connected disability pension.

At Home Companions works with Nursefinders of Hackensack to provide companion as well as medical home care.

The staff of At Home Companions is specially trained to determine eligibility for the aide and attendant services provided by the Veteran's Administration.
