Most veterans don’t want a handout. They want to keep their independence, just with a little help where it counts.
In Montclair and surrounding Essex County towns, many older veterans are trying to do just that: age in place, stay active, and maintain their dignity in a home they know and love. However, when everyday tasks become harder to manage, especially for those with physical limitations or chronic conditions, home care can make the difference between struggling and thriving.
At Comfort Keepers, we specialize in honoring that desire for independence, while ensuring veterans and their families get the support they’ve earned.

How VA Benefits Make This Possible
Something many families don’t know: Veterans may qualify for VA benefits that cover part, or all, of their in-home care. These programs are specifically designed for individuals who meet certain medical and financial criteria and need support to live safely at home.
Comfort Keepers is a proud national VA provider, with deep experience navigating the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VACCN). That means:
You don’t have to figure out the paperwork alone.
We help you access the benefits you’re entitled to.
Services can begin faster and with less stress.
Surviving spouses of veterans may also qualify for respite care, temporary relief for family caregivers who need a break but still want their loved one to receive high-quality care.
Specialized Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care for Veterans
Caring for a veteran with Alzheimer’s or dementia comes with unique challenges and emotions.
Our caregivers receive special training in memory care and are equipped to handle the complexities of cognitive decline with compassion, structure, and sensitivity. We partner with the Alzheimer’s Association to ensure our approach stays informed by the latest research and best practices.
