Elder Care Services for Veterans in Claremont, CA
Comfort Keepers is committed to providing elder care services to our nation's brave veterans throughout Claremont, Upland, La Verne, and the surrounding CA areas
Our country's veterans have sacrificed much to protect our rights as citizens, so at Comfort Keepers, we do our best to give back. We create elder care plans to meet the unique needs of our nation's aging service members. We ensure that each veteran in our care has access to the best elder care available, provided by our caring caregivers.
Even though they have served their country honorably, many veterans lack access to health care and cannot afford elder care for themselves or aging loved ones. However, veterans and their surviving spouses may qualify for VA benefits, which typically cover at least part of the cost of veterans' care services. Call us today at (909) 625-6151 to get started!

What Do You Need to Qualify?
We're here to help if you're unsure whether you or a loved one is eligible for VA benefits. To be eligible for VA benefits, you must meet the following requirements:
- The veteran served in the military for at least 90 days.
- At least one day of active duty has to have occurred during a conflict.
- The veteran lacks the financial resources to pay for their own care.
If your loved one seems eligible for VA benefits, Comfort Keepers can help them gather the appropriate papers to submit with their application. We can also help you fill out the VA paperwork packet and find an organization that can help with the process.
Required documents will usually consist of the following:
- Certificate of Discharge
- Any past marriage certificate and/or divorce documents (s)
- A veteran's death certificate, if appropriate
- The veteran's and his or her spouse's Social Security numbers
- Personal financial papers and records
