VA Funded In-Home Care

Always Best Care Will Do All The Work Needed To Get Your Family Member The Funding They Deserve.

If you're like most folks living in the United States, chances are, someone in your family or someone you know has served time in the military. Veterans truly deserve our deepest love, support, and care. Yet, many of these selfless men and women experience feelings of isolation and struggle with everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, and self-care. After all the hard work and bravery these soldiers dedicated to our country, they have earned the right to have a caregiver assist them with their daily needs.

Fortunately, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a range of home care services tailored to support both Veterans and their family members. These services are carried out by trained in-home caregivers who visit clients daily to provide essential care. As a home care company that truly values our Veterans, we are proud to connect Veterans to expert franchise owners who can help them get the essential care they need.

If your loved one is a Veteran and needs Veterans community care funding in Stuart or funding for another VA home care program, know that we are here to help. All it takes is a call to Always Best Care to get started. From there, we'll put you in touch with a local Always Best Care franchise owner who will do all the work needed to get your family member the funding they deserve.

VA FUNDED In-HOME CARE

Qualifying for Always Best Care's VA Community Care Network (CCN)

The VACCN Homemaker/Home Health Aide & Respite Care is a benefit offered to Veterans who require assistance with activities associated with daily living. Homemakers and Home Health Aides, while not nurses themselves, are trained professionals who can provide support and care to Veterans in their own homes.

They are supervised by an Always Best Care registered nurse who assesses the Veteran's care needs and supervises each individual case.

TESTIMONIALS

“I have worked with, and explored working with, various agencies and registries in the Palm Beach County area. I am picky. Always Best Care is qualitatively a notch above every other organization I’ve encountered. Responsive. Amiable. Professional.The aide, Islande, who has worked with my mom is top-notch for our needs. And... I have no doubt Steve (the agency’s owner) and his staff would strive to find someone else, if it hadn’t been a fit.If you are looking for Nursing Care, I strongly recommend giving Always Best Care a chance.BTW: It is important to understand that working with an Nursing Agency (like Always Best Care), means the staff are employees, not independent contractors (as they are when working through a Nursing Registry). An Agency is vested in having good employees, and a good agency wants you to be happy. But even all Agencies are not created equal. I worked with one (Alternative Health Care) where aides did not always show up! That was painful and incredibly stressful, and the manager and other higher-up staff didn’t give a hoot.”

“We have been using Always Best Care for my mom for two years now and I am hear to say that they are the best we have been with. The Caregivers go above and beyond what we expect and treat my with nothing but love. Fran and Steve and Claudia are with us 24/7 everyday. It has been a real rollercoaster with my mom’s issues, but they are definitely our rock of support. Michelle, who is mom’s full time daytime caregiver has been with her since we started and she is like part of the family. She calls and checks on her off hours because she cares and there is no price you can put on that. If you do not try this agency, you are missing out.”

VA Community Care benefits were completely unknown to us when we were looking for affordable care for mom and dad. Always Best Care helped us navigate through obtaining the caregiver benefits. Mom received free respite care to help give her a break from caregiver duties while caring for Dad. Their caregivers were kind and reliable, making our experience wonderful. Highly recommended.”

Starting with the initial consultation by Steve to learn about mom's personal care needs to the follow-up visit of a registered nurse to the eventual placement of a compassionate caregiver; every step of their service was well thought out and they truly delivered on providing a level of care for mom that exceeded our families (and mom's) expectations. It can be very nerve racking to find and leave your loved one with a caregiver but this company gets that and they were just fantastic. Thank you Always Best Care!”

As an estate planning attorney, I have recommended clients to Steve who have been very happy with his team.

“I have been utilizing Always Best Care Senior Services for 2 years to care 24/7 for my elderly parents. I am very pleased with their services. The Owners and Office Staff bend over backwards to make sure that there is always coverage, to alert my parents Caregiver Team of any requests that I make, to advise me when there is an issue with my parents or their dog. The Caregiver Team working with my parents are all compassionate and caring, knowledgeable and skilled. Sadly, my Father passed away in the fall of 2020. Each of their Caregivers, the Owners and the Office Staff expressed to me that they would like to attend his memorial service when we are able to have it. During the weeks he was slipping away, the Caregiver team not only took care of my parents, they looked after me, gently reminding me to eat, rest or take a break. They truly care not only for my parents, but for all our family. I can’t begin to express what a comfort it has been to have them caring for my parents, especially during the pandemic when visits are prohibited. They are my eyes and ears. Working intimately with my parents, the Caregivers are very tuned in to even subtle changes. If you are in the market and looking for a senior services/home health care company, I strongly urge you to reach out to Always Best Care Senior Services. You’ll be happy you did.”

From the highest level administration (Stephen and Beverly) to the amazing caregivers and schedulers -- the entire staff have been responsive and attentive from day one. They have been unfailingly respectful, caring, professional and competent. They were flexible and kind when my mother became terminally ill. And readily available and again responsive when we reinitiated services for my father. Their attentiveness and professionalism is reflected in the amazingly kind, competent and resourceful caregiving staff. Their exceptional caregivers have allowed us peace of mind, knowing that our Dad is getting great support from reliable providers who readily alert us of any matters that need attention.

“Always Best Care has been wonderful in many ways. Steve Snell, Owner and Area Representative, and Beverly Casper, RN were patient, kind and respectful while my Dad came to terms with the idea that he really did need help. They were flexible and open and that made all the difference. My Dad's aide Fabienne is responsible and caring and now more of a companion than aide. Steve and his scheduling team has been proactive about any changes that needed to occur and very good about communicating with me both by phone and email. Having them on board has lessened the worry I feel on a daily basis. My mother had a prolonged illness and through the years we dealt with many health care agencies. The attention and care we have received from Always Best Care is, by far, the best we ever have experienced and we are very grateful to have found them.”

Steve helped us reach out to the right contacts with the VA and was able to take us thru the process step by step to ensure that my Dad was able to get the most benefits possible to him which ended being about 32 hours of free home health care a week. The aids have been great for both of my parents. They have formed great relationships with Carol and Fred and now as of recently AnnMarie. The aids help getting groceries and picking up medication and also clean up around the house. They feel very cared for and have really turned the corner in feeling happier and well cared for. We are extremely grateful to Steve and his team at Always Best for working with us and ensuring my parents safety and well being! It's a great agency and all the workers who are part of this business!!”

THE Next Steps

How to Qualify for VA Funded In-Home Care

Whether you are a Veteran and need in-home care services or you're a family member of a Veteran, it's important to qualify for our VA Community Care Network. To qualify, consider the following:

  • Veterans must be honorably discharged. They do NOT need to be war-era Veterans
  • Veterans must sign up for VA Healthcare

You should be aware that any home care services that are authorized depend on you or your loved one's physician's assessment of needs.

How To Enroll In

Always Best Care's VA Community Care Network

Gaining access to VA senior care requires a three-step enrollment process. Those steps include the following:

First, request an Assessment for Community Care Network (CCN) services from your VA Physician. From there, the VA Physician will conduct an assessment and write an order accordingly (based on eligibility and needs). After that step, request that your VA Physician specifies which VA home care provider you would like to use, such as Always Best Care.

  • Stuart VA Clinic

During this step, a Community Care Coordinator from the VA will contact you after the VA Physician writes your order. After making contact, the Community Care Coordinator will inform you of the type of care and quantity of hours per week authorized by the VA.

If you have not selected a specific provider, the Community Care Coordinator will provide options in your area. Once a Community Provider like Always Best Care is selected, the Community Care Coordinator will send the authorization to the selected Community Provider that you request.

Should you choose Always Best Care as your Community Care Provider, a home care claims manager will call you to arrange a care consultation, complete the intake paperwork, and schedule in-home care services. After the care consultation, the Community Care Provider performs a final assessment of your needs.

After the final assessment is complete, a Care Plan is created for you by the Community Provider. The Community Care Provider will arrange for a caregiver to come to your home for the number of authorized hours allowed each week.

Note: Veterans may choose their in-home care provider and are under NO OBLIGATION TO SELECT Always Best Care.

Understanding VA-Funded Home Care Programs

Finding information on home care programs funded by the VA is challenging. At Always Best Care, we want to make access to this crucial care as accessible as possible. That's why, when a Veteran is interested in Always Best Care's VA Community Care Network, our VA home care funding specialists manage all the paperwork and other hurdles that may prevent a senior Veteran from reaching out.

If you're unsure whether senior care paid for by the VA is right for you, keep reading to learn more about the programs offered.

Veterans Community Care Funding in Stuart, FL

As a Veteran, you may be eligible to get care outside the VA. This means the VA will pay for the cost of your care from a health care provider in their community care network. Long-term services offered within this program may include:

  • Help with Daily Tasks: Like meal prep, bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, and cleaning the house.
  • Comfort and Companionship Care: An in-home caregiver can visit your home if you do not have family or loved ones nearby and help provide companionship services. Those services may include socialization, emotional support, and help staying independent in your home.
  • Support for Caregivers: If you are a caregiver or a Veteran who has a caregiver who needs to take a break for work or personal reasons, don't worry. The VA can provide assistance from a qualified in-home caregiver.

Veterans Aid and Attendance Funding in Stuart, FL

VA Aid and Attendance benefits offer additional monthly payments on top of a monthly VA pension for eligible Veterans and their survivors. If you require assistance with everyday tasks or are confined to your home, you might be eligible.

In order to qualify for this program, one or more of the following must be true:

  • You need another person to perform daily routines and activities like making food, dressing yourself, bathing, and going to the bathroom.
  • You are bedridden or spend a significant amount of time in bed due to an illness.
  • Your mental or physical abilities are compromised because of a disability, and you're a patient in a nursing home.
  • You have limited eyesight. This means that even with contact glasses or lenses, you only have 5/200 or less in both eyes. You may also qualify if you have concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less.

To learn more Veterans Aid and Attendance and how our VA home care funding specialists help provide the care you deserve, contact Always Best Care today.

Veterans Agent Orange Funding in Stuart, FL

Many U.S. Veterans returning from Vietnam began to report health issues almost right away, linking them to exposure to Agent Orange and dioxin. This connection sparked controversy from the outset and persists to this day. Veterans suffering from exposure to Agent Orange may be eligible for in-home care funding from Always Best Care.

One common misconception about this program is that Veterans must have served in Vietnam or were directly exposed to Agent Orange to qualify for funding. The truth is that a soldier DOES NOT need direct exposure to Agent Orange to benefit from quality in-home care.

However, to qualify for this type of funding, the Veteran must have served in the military when the government was using this harmful chemical herbicide. So long as you or your Veteran loved one served in the military during Agent Orange use, they may qualify - even if they did not serve in Vietnam.

The following cancers and illnesses are proven to have been caused by Agent Orange:

  • Hodgkin's Disease
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Respiratory Cancers
  • Bladder Cancer
  • Chronic B-Cell Leukemia
  • Diabetes Type 2
  • Parkinson's Disease
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Peripheral Neuropathy

Whether you served in Vietnam and were exposed to Agent Orange or you are a Veteran who served our country while the herbicide was used, you deserve personalized in-home care from expert caregivers. Unfortunately, securing VA funding for these services can be difficult - especially for older Veterans. That's why many soldiers contact Always Best Care for help.

Our franchise owners are experts when it comes to VA home care claims management in Stuart. When you call your local Always Best Care location, you can expect tailored service, expert guidance, and reliable help throughout the qualifying process.

VA Funded Home Care FAQs

The VA provides various programs that deliver both medical and non-medical home care services for eligible Veterans. These initiatives are part of the VA's home and community-based services. They're aimed at enhancing the well-being of Veterans facing chronic illnesses or service-related disabilities.

Non-medical home care encompasses services such as companionship, assistance with household tasks, and personal care. In contrast, home health care services focus on medical needs and include skilled nursing, medication management, and rehabilitative therapies.

The homemaker and home health aide program includes a trained caregiver visiting the Veteran's home to assist with daily household tasks, like grocery shopping or personal care. The frequency of the caregiver's visits can vary based on the Veteran's requirements, whether they need support daily or just occasionally. Veterans can keep receiving help as long as they need assistance with everyday activities. This program enables Veterans to remain in their homes instead of relocating to a nursing facility. It also supports family caregivers by alleviating their stress and physical demands.

The financial support provided by the VA for Veterans' home care can differ significantly depending on the program utilized by the Veteran, their disability status, and various other factors. In the case of spouses or family members of Veterans, the VA's payment for home care will be determined by their eligibility and the specific care requirements they have. Working with a VA home care funding specialist in Stuart may help Veterans and their families understand eligibility requirements. Working with an expert may also help to clarify how much the VA will pay for in-home care.

Possibly. Whether a spouse or surviving spouse qualifies depends on their specific circumstances and their ability to fulfill eligibility criteria. For instance, a surviving spouse who enters into a new marriage loses eligibility for TRICARE, which is the military's health insurance program. If a spouse or surviving spouse does not qualify for TRICARE, they might still have access to VA health care benefits through programs like The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA).

Winner, winner!

One ticket matching all five Powerball numbers during the Dec. 8 drawing was sold on the Treasure Coast, leaving the winner with a $1 million win.

The ticket was sold at 7-Eleven, 3991 S. Kanner Highway in Stuart.

Florida Lottery has not reported on its online database if the winning ticket has been claimed or not.

The winning numbers for the draw were 8-32-52-56-64 and the Powerball was 23. If the Powerball had matched, the winning ticket would have won the $875 million prize.

Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has 60 days from the applicable draw date to claim it.

The Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes "must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire."

Can Florida lottery winners remain anonymous?

Winners cannot remain anonymous: "Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner's name, city of residence, game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information," according to Florida Lottery's website,

However, the site states, the "names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner."

Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.

A straightforward look at how Kristin Brown of Stuart, Florida, uses discipline, entrepreneurship and community work to guide her life.

Stuart, Florida, has many people who contribute to the community, but Kristin Brown stands out for her consistent and deliberate approach to growth. She moves through athletics, business and service with clear intentions and steady effort. Each stage of her life reflects a direct choice and a defined purpose.

Kristin first built her identity as IFBB Pro Kristin Gomes. Her training taught her structure, discipline and focus, which she later applied to every new challenge. Today, Kristin Brown, Stuart FL, represents intentional action and a strong connection to her community.

Early discipline: Lessons from competitive sport

Kristin’s path began in professional fitness. IFBB Pro athletes follow strict routines. They train early, track every meal and aim for measurable progress. This environment demands commitment and constant attention to detail.

Kristin embraced the work. She built strong habits and learned how to manage pressure. She set goals, created plans and carried them out with consistency. The experience taught her how to handle setbacks, adjust strategies and stay focused on measurable outcomes.

When she chose to leave competition, she kept the discipline. She took the structure she built in sports and applied it to new areas of her life. That decision shaped every opportunity she pursued afterward.

Driving toward new challenges

After her athletic career, Kristin stepped into the world of high-performance driving. She felt drawn to the sport because it requires precision, quick decisions and complete mental presence. She approached it the same way she approached competition: with discipline, training and clear objectives.

She completed the Ferrari Corso Pilota program, which teaches advanced driving techniques. The program demands steady control and rapid responses. Kristin met those demands by practicing with intention and reviewing her performance after each session.

She then earned her IMSA racing license. This milestone marked her commitment to learning the sport at a professional level. She built her skills step by step and focused on mastering each required technique.

Kristin enters new fields with the same process each time. She studies the skill, practices it, evaluates her results and keeps improving. She does not chase quick wins. She builds competence through direct effort and repetition.

Developing a practical approach to entrepreneurship

As Kristin expanded her interests, she started building her entrepreneurial path. She creates systems, plans projects and sets measurable goals. She combines creativity with clear structure, and she treats every idea with practical analysis.

Her approach drew attention from well-known brands. Rolls-Royce included her in its Inspiring Greatness series, which highlights individuals who take intentional steps toward long-term progress. The recognition aligned with how she works: she builds purpose into every project and focuses on sustainable growth.

In Stuart, she has become a familiar voice among emerging business leaders. She encourages others to set clear goals, track progress and move forward with steady action. She models the value of discipline in business the same way she modeled it in athletics and motorsports.

Kristin does not chase status or trends. She builds solid foundations and commits to the long work behind them.

Community involvement as a steady priority

Service plays a central role in Kristin’s life. She treats community work as an ongoing responsibility rather than an occasional event.

She supports local animal rescues, including Furry Friends and the Humane Society. These organizations depend on local involvement to provide medical care, food and shelter for animals. Kristin contributes through direct support and steady engagement.

She also participates in toy drives and local initiatives that help families during difficult seasons. She supports these efforts because they respond to specific needs and offer immediate value.

Residents often describe her as reliable and grounded. She does not ask for attention. She focuses on supporting the causes she believes in and building trust through consistent action.

A pattern of clear choices and steady effort

Across every stage of her life, Kristin follows the same pattern. She sets goals, studies the work it takes to reach them and follows each step with discipline. She treats new challenges as opportunities to learn. She focuses on systems, structure and measurable improvement.

This pattern defines the story of Kristin Brown, Stuart FL. Her work in athletics taught her how to build routines. Her time in motorsports reinforced the importance of precision. Her move into entrepreneurship strengthened her ability to plan. Her community involvement reflects her values and her belief in direct support.

None of these areas stand alone. Each part reinforces the others. She uses the same approach in every environment: prepare, act, evaluate, improve.

A narrative look at how Kristin Brown of Stuart, Florida, blends athletic excellence, entrepreneurship and community impact.

Some people live a story defined by a single success. Others build a life shaped by ongoing reinvention. Kristin Brown of Stuart, Florida, belongs firmly in the second group. Her journey blends athletic discipline, entrepreneurial vision and a steady commitment to community service. Each chapter reflects persistence and a willingness to take on challenges that many avoid.

Before she was known in Stuart for leadership and advocacy, Kristin gained national recognition under her maiden name, Kristin Gomes, as an IFBB Pro. The path demanded precision, structure and a long-term relationship with perseverance. Her consistency on stage became the foundation for everything she would build in the years ahead.

Today, Kristin’s story continues to evolve, guided by ambition and an enduring desire to make a meaningful difference.

From the IFBB stage to new horizons

Kristin’s early athletic achievements were more than wins on paper. They demonstrated her capacity for discipline and self-mastery. Competing as an IFBB Pro required routines built on sacrifice, attention to detail and a constant willingness to improve. The mindset she developed in professional athletics later fueled the ventures she pursued outside the fitness world.

That same drive carried her into high-performance driving, an arena far removed from the stage yet equally demanding. Completing the Ferrari Corso Pilota program is an accomplishment few attempt, and earning her IMSA racing license added another layer to her already varied pursuits. Both experiences highlight a person who does not simply set goals. She chooses challenges that require precision, courage and focus.

In many ways, those pursuits reveal an athlete who never stopped competing. She simply shifted the field.

A growing presence in entrepreneurship and leadership

While Kristin’s athletic background shaped her early trajectory, her entrepreneurial work expanded it. She approaches business with the curiosity and intensity that defined her sports career. Her blend of creativity and professionalism drew the attention of global brands, including Rolls-Royce, which featured her in its Inspiring Greatness series.

That recognition was more than a moment in the spotlight. It reflected her ability to build a brand rooted in authenticity and forward-thinking ambition. Her ventures continue to evolve, driven by a vision that values innovation, purpose and meaningful connection.

In Stuart, Kristin has emerged as a respected voice among local leaders. She balances progress with generosity and uses her platform to encourage others to pursue their goals with intention.

Serving the community that shaped her

For all her achievements, what defines Kristin Brown of Stuart, Florida, most clearly is her commitment to community service. These efforts are not an occasional project. They are part of her daily life.

Kristin supports local animal organizations, including Furry Friends and the Humane Society, groups whose missions align with her belief in compassion and responsibility. She also donates to annual toy drives and contributes to initiatives that help families who are facing financial hardship. Her efforts are consistent and sincere, often carried out quietly rather than publicly.

To many residents of Martin County, Kristin is more than an entrepreneur or former athlete. She is a neighbor who shows up, someone who invests in the wellbeing of her community and inspires others to do the same.

Conclusion

The story of Kristin Brown of Stuart, Florida, continues to unfold, but its direction is clear. Her life reflects ambition, adaptability and generosity. From her years as IFBB Pro Kristin Gomes to her high-performance driving achievements, business ventures and philanthropic work, she continues to build a legacy grounded in purpose.
