Are you a US Military Veteran or Surviving Spouse?
Did you or your spouse serve during a declared period of war?
If you answered Yes to these questions, you may be eligible for veteran’s financial assistance through the Veterans' Administration that may pay all or some of your home care costs!
CareTrak Home Care, LLC helps pave the way to this valuable, relatively unknown benefit by linking its clients to experts who can manage the application paperwork necessary to determine eligibility for these benefits. CareTrak offers you assistance to prepare for the initial benefits pre-qualification. If our experts determine that you meet their pre-qualification standards, a nominal application fee will be charged in order to submit your completed application to the Veterans' Administration. This fee will be refunded to you by CareTrak if you are awarded these benefits and are still utilizing our services at the time of the award.
