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.

Our 4 hour Hospital to Home Package for $99 Includes:
·         Transportation Home
·         Prescription Pick-Up
·         Grocery Shopping and Light Meal Prep
·         Light Housekeeping
·         Preparing Your Home
·         Ensure Comfort
·         Schedule Follow-Up Appointments with Your Doctor

This package is up to a 10 mile drive. Clients must be able to get in and out of their care with minimal assistance. Additional hours are available, if needed.


If you want to know more about veteran home care assistance in Scottsdale, AZ, please don't hesitate to call. Consultations are provided free to our clients. We guarantee a warm welcome and excellent service at Always Best Care of Scottsdale, and look forward to helping you and your family in any way that we can.

What Is PASRS And Why Is It Important For Families Of Senior Adults in Scottsdale?


Assisted living communities are designed to provide care for seniors and other persons who wish to remain as independent as possible, yet need some help with daily living activities.
 
Assisted living communities in Scottsdale, AZ serve as a bridge between living alone and entering a nursing home.  There are approximately 33,000 in the nation and the most common size is between 25 and 120 residents, although they can be bigger or smaller. However, assisted living facilities are not the only type of care available for senior adults.  There are also, among others:

Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) Homes
Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)
Alzheimer and Dementia care homes
Nursing Homes

Searching for the right care facility for your loved one is a very stressful and time-consuming task. Consulting a Senior Referral Specialist is extremely helpful in assisting families to find the proper placement for their senior's needs.

Senior Referral Specialists and the PASRS

It can be discouraging when you or a loved one has to deal with unscrupulous and sub-par assisted living providers.  For this reason, business owners in the Scottsdale, AZ community and around the nation have formed the Professional Association for Senior Referral Specialists (PASRS) to standardize the industry. They established minimum professional standards for business ethics and the delivery of services; standards of best industry practices; and promotion of education and consumer advocacy and protection.

PASRS maintains a thorough, current knowledge of existing community resources.  A Senior Referral Specialist who is a member of PASRS will help you and your senior loved one make informed decisions about important health care and daily living issues after providing you with a wealth of resources.

PASRS in Action

One Scottsdale, AZ home care agency that is dedicated to providing the best practices in the assisted living and home care industry is Always Best Care of Scottsdale, AZ. ABC provides assisted living placement solutions for seniors as well as their non-medical home care in Scottsdale.  As an active member of PASRS, ABC is one of the Southwest's most trusted agencies.
