Veteran’s Assistance in New Jersey
Learn how we earned our reputation for quality care in the health care industry.
Program
Safe Harbor Home Care provides qualifying New Jersey veterans and their widowed spouses with home care at no personal cost—well before they are awarded the Aid & Attendance home care benefit from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Qualifying veterans and their widowed spouses may be eligible for the Aid & Attendance benefit from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Once the veteran’s application for this benefit has been approved, a veteran can receive home care services funded by the U.S. government. However, it may take between 8-12 months for the application to be approved, thus delaying much-needed care.

Aid & Attendance

VetAssist Companion
A specialized support service that pairs trained companions with veterans to provide companionship, assistance, and emotional support.
VetAssist Partner Program

Widows of Veterans
The program aims to honor the sacrifices made by veterans and offers guidance, benefits, and emotional support to help widows navigate life after the loss of their spouse, ensuring they receive the recognition and assistance they deserve.

Safe Harbor Homecare Provides Home Care Services to Qualifying Veterans Faster—At No Personal Cost or Risk
Safe Harbor Homecare offers a Veterans Program in which we will start servicing qualifying veterans or their surviving spouses shortly after submitting their applications for Aid & Attendance benefit program—before VA approval. If the VA eventually approves the veteran’s application, the government will pay for the home care services that Safe Harbor Homecare provided during the 8-12 month processing period. However, if the VA rejects a veteran’s application, neither the veteran nor the veteran’s family will be charged for any home care assistance provided under Safe Harbor Homecare’s Veterans Program.
