VetNow
Sometimes it is hard to ask for help. Brainfuse VetNow lets you connect anonymously with a veteran to get help figuring out VA benefits and other services: whether it’s tackling a resume, writing a cover letter, navigating the VA system, or adjusting to a civilian career.
Memory Care
Aside from the normal aging process, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder make veterans more vulnerable to dementia than the general population. To help veterans and their families, Memory Care created a guide that goes over dementia in detail and shares treatment options as well as available VA programs and resources.
Veteran Benefits
There are over 18.2 million veterans aged 65 and above, many of whom require long-term care. Unfortunately, navigating the intricacies of available benefits can be daunting, particularly for retired veterans in their elderly years. To address this issue and assist senior veterans and their families, Caring created a comprehensive guide that explains various VA benefits, focusing on those applicable to seniors. It offers valuable insights into utilizing VA benefits to meet long-term care needs, outlines eligibility requirements, and provides a step-by-step application process to determine available options for financing their healthcare needs.
