Veterans Day is November 11. On behalf of everyone at Assisting Hands Home Care Serving Jacksonville Beaches, we want to say something simple and heartfelt to every veteran in our community: thank you.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you to the spouses, children, and families who served alongside you, through every deployment, move, and long stretch apart. Your service is part of the reason we get to live the lives we do.<\/p>\n

A day that is personal for us<\/h2>\n

For us, Veterans Day is personal. We have deep military connections in our own families, in our business, and in the community we call home. We know what service asks of the people who give it, and of the families who wait at home.<\/p>\n

We also live in a military town. Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport are part of the fabric of our community, and many of the people who served here chose to stay. They raised their families in Jacksonville, at the Beaches, and in St. Johns County, and they call Northeast Florida home.<\/p>\n

Caring for the veterans who served<\/h2>\n

Many of the clients we care for are veterans. Caring for them is one of the great privileges of our work. Our caregivers hear the stories, see the photos on the wall, and get to know the people behind the uniform. Spending time with veterans, helping them stay comfortable and independent in their own homes, is a way for us to give a little back.<\/p>\n

Home care for veterans in Jacksonville looks like the care we provide every day: help with bathing and dressing, meals, light housekeeping, getting around the house safely, and good company. For many veteran families, it also gives a spouse or adult child time to rest.<\/p>\n
