We support our Vets in Austin!

BrightStar Care of Greater Austin Cares For Veterans

In honor of our local servicemen and women, we post the information below on how veterans can receive paid military benefits for in-home care.

Benefits for military veterans and their spouses:

The Veterans Aide & Attendance Pension provides qualified veterans and surviving spouses a pension that can help pay for at-home assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, light housekeeping, transportation, meal preparation, and more.

A veteran or the surviving spouse of a vet (and were still married at the time of death) who has served at least 90 days or more on active duty, with one day beginning or ending during a period of war, in need of assistance at home due to their disabilities may be eligible for the VA’s non-service-connected disability pension (up to $2020 per month in supplemental pension depending on their situation). Note: this is not a benefit for a person needing housekeeping or respite part-time care.  CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW WE CAN HELP.
