Veterans Home Care
Those who served our country deserve dignity, comfort, and independence in the place they call home.
At Applause Home Care, we proudly provide Veterans home care services in Fair Lawn and across Bergen County, helping former service members and their spouses receive compassionate, non-medical support at home — often with help from VA benefits.
Our Care Partners assist with daily living, companionship, and coordination of care so Veterans can age safely while honoring their legacy of service.
Supporting Veterans at Home
Many aging Veterans live with chronic illness, limited mobility, or the lasting effects of injury. In-home support allows them to maintain independence and avoid the disruption of institutional care.
Applause Home Care helps Veterans and their families navigate care planning, scheduling, and — when eligible — assistance through the VA Aid and Attendance pension benefit, which can offset the cost of home care.
What Is Veterans Home Care?
Veterans home care provides non-medical assistance for daily activities while promoting independence, dignity, and companionship.
Services are available to qualifying Veterans and surviving spouses through private pay or the VA’s Aid & Attendance program.
Our Fair Lawn team assists with:
- Bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting
- Meal planning and preparation
- Medication reminders and hydration support
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Mobility assistance and fall prevention
- Transportation to appointments
- Companionship and conversation
- Coordination with VA clinicians or case managers
Applause Home Care proudly serves Veterans and families across North Jersey, including: Fort Lee, Hackensack, Teaneck, Tenafly, Montvale, Ridgewood, Wyckoff, Paramus, Pompton Plains, Fair Lawn, Bergen County and surrounding areas.
The VA Aid & Attendance Benefit
The Aid and Attendance program provides monthly payments in addition to a Veteran’s pension to help cover in-home care, assisted living, or nursing support.
You may qualify if you or your spouse:
- Served 90 days of active duty with at least one day during wartime
- Received an honorable discharge
- Require help with daily living activities
- Meet certain income and asset requirements
Applause Home Care can connect you with trusted partners who assist with the application process and documentation.
“Social isolation significantly increased a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.”
