Veterans Care

Outstanding Care for Veterans.  Plus Help Obtaining the Funds They Need!

At Always Best Care, we not only provide outstanding care for veterans, we also help them obtain the funds to pay for the care they need.

Many Always Best Care offices have established relationships with law firms, paralegals and others who can help guide veterans through the maze of obtaining VA benefits. On a national basis, Always Best Care has also established a partnership with the Center for Elder Veterans Rights (CFEVR), a Tennessee-based law firm, to assist veterans throughout the country.

A unique benefit of the Always Best Care Veterans Assistance Program program is a 100% guarantee offered to Always Best Care and its veteran clients by the CFEVR.

If a veteran is denied VA benefits after the Center has completed a pre-filing consultation review and provided an opinion of apparent eligibility, CFEVR will reimburse* the veteran for the cost of care paid to Always Best Care (up to the amount that would have been paid by VA benefits), and they will also reimburse either Always Best Care or the veteran for any costs of legal fees incurred for the pre-filing consultation.

For more information about our Veterans Assistance Program, or for a no obligation free care consultation, please call toll-free 1-855-520-CARE or click here.

* The guarantee is valid provided the information presented by clients to CFEVR is not incomplete, false or misleading.

Our mission: provide care and help obtaining funds to pay for care

At Always Best Care Senior Services, our mission is to provide veterans with the most outstanding care possible, and also to assist them in obtaining the funds to pay for the care they need.

The Always Best Care Veterans Assistance Program helps some of America’s most deserving citizens remain in their homes longer while maintaining a healthy and safer lifestyle. Or, if the veteran chooses to move to an assisted living community, benefits can also apply to the cost of room and board as well as personal care.

As part of our program, we want to help veterans and their families understand what VA programs are available and if they are legally qualified before making a decision to purchase care.

Here’s how we help

At Always Best Care, we not only provide outstanding care for veterans, we also assist them in obtaining the funds to pay for the care they need. For example, if you choose to work with one of our resources, The Center for Elder Veterans Rights, their process includes …

• Thoroughly researching and reviewing all pertinent records and testimony, documenting medical conditions, need for care, military service, marital records, and financial status (if required).
• Obtaining necessary documents from original and certified sources (this includes obtaining certified copies of military discharges).
• Researching your particular situation and history with a view of selecting which VA disability program might be the most beneficial.
• Preparing a written legal opinion regarding eligibility for the desired VA benefit and the anticipated amount of award.
• If the legal opinion is positive, you may begin care with Always Best Care confident of your legal entitlement to VA benefits.
• Preparing, presenting and prosecuting a complete, documented claim for the desired benefit by a VA-accredited attorney.

VA disability programs

There are two specific types of VA disability programs.

Service connected compensation
This program compensates veterans for their theoretical loss of earnings based on injuries or disabilities incurred as a direct result of active duty military service or from a pre-existing medical condition aggravated by active duty. Disabilities are rated between 0-100% depending on the degree to which ability to work is impacted. Any period of military service is acceptable and there are no financial eligibility requirements.

Non – service connected pension
This important program covers disabilities that have no relationship whatsoever to active duty military service. However, the veteran must have had qualifying active duty military service with a minimum of one day during a period of war or conflict. Pension is also based on financial need; however, in many cases all unreimbursed, regular, prospective medical expenses (including in-home care and residential care costs) are deductible from income when determining income and need. Qualified veterans must be over the age of 65 and/or unable to hold “substantially gainful employment.”

Other important benefits

Assistance for surviving spouses
Both the Service Connected Compensation and Non-Service Pension Programs have provisions for assisting the un-remarried surviving spouses of qualified veterans.

Special monthly benefits
Special monthly benefits for veterans or qualified spouses who are housebound or in the need of the regular Aid & Attendance of another person due to their disabilities may also qualify for awards in addition to the basic Service Connected Compensation or Non-Service Pension Programs.

Each office is independently owned and operated

Accreditation required by federal law to provide veterans assistance

There are many organizations and individuals who claim to offer assistance to veterans.

Many such organizations and individuals simply advise veterans to file their claims, and then see what happens. Beware!

Federal Statute 38 USC §5901 and Regulations (38 CFR 14.626 and 14.629) require anyone assisting a veteran with advice, consultation or the preparation, presentation and prosecution of a benefits claim be accredited by the VA Office of General Counsel. This is to assure veterans receive accurate and professional assistance.

If you’re a veteran in need of assistance, make sure the person you turn to is fully accredited by the Veterans Administration. You can search accreditation at the VA General Counsel’s Website. http://www.va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/index.asp
