In-Home Care Services for Veterans in Asheville, NC

At Visiting Angels, we firmly believe in the importance of honoring our nation's veterans for their service in defending the country. Given the rigors of military service, every veteran has made sacrifices to uphold essential values and protect civilians around the globe. In doing so, they have earned the right to receive the highest-quality home care in their golden years. Many also live with distinct needs that require the deepest empathy and a personalized touch.

Our approach to home care offers exactly those qualities and more. We specialize in a compassionate form of in-home care precisely tailored to meet the specific needs of seniors, including veterans living in and around Asheville, North Carolina.

Understanding the Unique Care Needs of Veterans

Veterans may have unique care needs stemming from their service to the country. However, many veterans live with common health concerns, such as:

• Trauma.
• Anxiety.
• Depression.
• Physical injuries.
• Hearing loss.
• Vision problems.
• Chronic health conditions.

To offer the kind of care that a particular veteran needs, we go beyond generalized health concerns to understand their specific circumstances, as their health and care requirements arise from their individual experiences. For example, a veteran who was exposed to certain chemical substances during their service may live with respiratory challenges or a more severe health complication that calls for special considerations in their care plan. Every care client is unique, and the specific nature of a veteran's service affects the kind of support necessary to help them enjoy a higher quality of life.
