Twenty
Hours of Caregiving Provided Free to Veterans
and their Families from Homewatch CareGivers "We
Care for Veterans" National Program
To honor U.S. military
personnel for their service and sacrifice, Homewatch
CareGivers, the largest and most experienced
international franchise provider of in-home care,
is offering up to 20 hours of free in-home care
to disabled U.S. military Veterans of any conflict—from
World War II and Korea to the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq—through
its “We Care for Veterans” program.
“We know that many family members act as
caregivers for returning disabled military, and
they are often responsible for childcare as well
as elder care,” said Leann Reynolds, president,
Homewatch CareGivers. “We hope our donation
of in-home care can directly help meet the care
needs of Veterans or benefits family caregivers
by giving them time for themselves or support for
their daily duties.”
An estimated 10,000
disabled Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan
conflicts depend on their parents, who are “boomers” and older, to be
their caregivers, according to the Wounded Warrior
Project, The Military Family Network and Coalition
to Salute America’s Heroes.
