Veteran’s Assistance for Seniors in Greater Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ

Veterans have given their best to serve this great country. It is only fitting that we do our best for them to show our gratitude. They deserve an outstanding level of care so that they can live in comfort. They should also be given comprehensive assistance in acquiring the funds required to sustain such care. We make both of these things possible at Always Best Care Scottsdale.

Exceptional Care

Always Best Care Scottsdale is committed to the welfare of our veterans. We have set up a Veterans Assistance Program that offers services based on individual needs. For instance, some seniors might prefer to stay in their own home while taking extra steps to ensure that they remain healthy and safe with their chosen lifestyle. Others may be more open to the possibility of joining an assisted living community where they can receive more focused care. We respect their decisions and do our best to fulfill their wishes. 

Funding Assistance

Veterans and their families who wish to avail themselves of assisted living need not worry about the costs. They are entitled to an Aid and Attendance pension that can cover the expense, or at least part of it. This benefit is given to veterans who rely on others for everyday functions like eating, bathing, taking medication, and so on. It may also be extended to their spouses. The money is meant to be used as payment for a care provider in Scottsdale, AZ inside the home or for the fees within an assisted living facility.

How It Works

We have teamed up with the Center for Elder Veterans Rights to provide competent assistance for those who wish to file a funding application. The dedicated people at CFEVR are experts in reviewing all of the required documentation. These may include marital records, military service records, proof of financial status, and documents pertaining to the medical conditions. They are also skilled at obtaining paperwork from certified sources, studying each unique case to find the best course of action, arranging a written legal opinion about eligibility, estimating the monetary award, and preparing the claim with the help of an accredited lawyer.

·         Transportation Home

From Hospital to Home, Always Best Care Scottsdale is Always in Touch

Many patients, when released from the hospital, find that they still need some care as they get back on their feet again at home. The problem is that it can be expensive to receive the kind of care needed. Patients, mainly the elderly, often find themselves back in the hospital only weeks after being released. With medical costs so high, this causes patients to pay incredibly high fees just to receive medical care to be sent home again and risk it all happening once more, possibly ending in long-term care.

Senior caregivers in Scottsdale can help reduce the risks to elderly patients so they can get well without worrying about landing back in the hospital. The trouble comes with the price -- many services that offer care cost a great deal, sometimes more than a person is able to pay. 

Not all services are the same. Always Best Care of Scottsdale offers the services that patients need at prices they can afford, so the extraordinary fees associated with care coming from the hospital to home are avoided. ABC Scottsdale’s Hospital to Home Always in Touch services help lower the rates of elderly patients going back to the hospital or landing in long-term care.

The Hospital to Home program is designed to lower the risk of hospital readmission. Always Best Care in Scottsdale AZ will work with the hospital so that someone will be there to check on the patient within 72 hours after they return home. This helps ensure the patient's safety, lets them and their family know that they are receiving care and being looked after, and helps prevent serious complications as the senior recovers. Always Best Care Scottsdale will work with the hospital and the patients care team to make sure the best possible treatment is being received.

Our Always in Touch service is designed to give both patients and their families the peace of mind they need. The service is free, and a phone call is made to the senior citizen to reassure them that they’re not alone, and also to ensure that no serious injuries or problems have arisen while they are home. Our team will call and allow the phone to ring 15 times, and then call back in around 15 minutes if there is no answer. If there is still no answer, emergency contacts will be called. The Always in Touch service can be a temporary permanent service for those who are returning from the hospital, live alone, or just need someone to talk to every day.

If you're worried about your health and safety when you leave the hospital, or if you have a loved one in the hospital, non-medical home care in Scottsdale AZ might be just what you're looking for. Call to discuss what Always Best Care of Scottsdale can do for you with the Hospital to Home and Always in Touch programs.
