When the need for caregiving arises at whatever age, it may come in several forms. The veteran who requires assistance in feeding, dressing, and mobility also yearns for the human touches of conversation and empathy. Veterans have served their country with devotion, and when the time comes for them to receive service, they have the right to reside where they choose, and this is available with help from agencies such as Assisting Hands. Living in the home where familiarity aids them psychologically is not impossible. All it requires is a caregiver’s sympathetic ear and helping hand to ease the parts of life that have proven a challenge. Family and friends will do all they are able, but distance and prior commitments limit their time and availability. The need for competent caregiving is important as the median age of our U.S. population grows due to the improvement of health care as compared to decades past.
