Home Care and Recruiting with Veterans in Mind

November 11, 2018
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them”  -John F. Kennedy

At BrightStar Care we are committed to our veteran community members through serving them with a higher standard of home care and understanding their needs in civilian employment.

Veteran Home Care

Our caregiver and Certified Nursing Aid team are trained to provide home health aid services to manage daily self-care. Outside of being trained on Alzheimer’s and Dementia, our team also provides the following services:
  • Bathing
  • Grooming
  • Meal preparation
  • Light housekeeping
  • Transportation

Recruiting Veterans

We believe veterans are an invaluable source of leadership and talent. Recruiting veterans begins with appropriate training and being intentional with how we promote positions. It begins with knowledge on understanding and translating military experience to civilian positions.

Our recruiter attends annual trainings to better understand a company’s impact on veteran’s transition to civilian life. That training also includes how to understand military positions and ranks and how they apply to positions.
