Serving Veterans

Independent Living for Veterans in Pennsylvania

You’ve given years of service to protect our country and its people. Now it’s our responsibility to support you in maintaining the independence and dignity you’ve earned. Many veterans experience new challenges as they age or live with disabilities from their time in service. At Community Resources for Independence (CRI), we provide veterans home care services under the VA waiver program that helps you stay where you feel most comfortable, your own home.

Being strong and self-reliant has always defined those who have served. Yet even the strongest individuals can face times when assistance becomes necessary. Limited mobility, chronic pain, or the effects of aging can make everyday activities difficult. Independence means living life on your own terms. Our goal is to help you preserve that freedom safely and confidently.

CRI works closely with veterans and their families throughout Pennsylvania, offering practical solutions that restore control over daily routines. You deserve both independence and respect, and our disabled veterans support services are built around those values. We understand that maintaining your home life matters; it means connection, familiarity, and stability.

Our experienced staff provides in-home assistance tailored to each person’s needs and eligibility. Services under the VA waiver program are primarily for personal care services and respite. Every plan focuses on what you can do, rather than just what you need help with.

In-Home Care for Veterans with Disabilities in Pennsylvania

Life at home can stay comfortable and fulfilling with the right support. CRI’s veterans home care program helps you manage daily activities, health needs, and social connections.

Our services include:

  • Personal care, such as help with bathing, dressing, and grooming
  • Meal planning, grocery shopping, and assistance with eating
  • Medication reminders and scheduling support
  • Light housekeeping and laundry assistance
  • Guidance for maintaining a safe and organized home

CRI offers veterans’ home care and respite services under the Department of Veterans Affairs Waiver Program. This can be a great benefit to military retirees. Services that qualify are clearly defined by the VA. CRI does not offer transportation services, but otherwise our services are a great help to retirees as well as family caregivers who benefit from time off.

Independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone; it means having the right kind of help when you need it. CRI makes it easier for veterans to manage their health and home life without the need to relocate. You have already served your country; now allow us to serve you with respect and care.

Support for Families of Veterans

Caring for a loved one who served can be both rewarding and demanding. Many family members juggle work, children, and other obligations, making daily caregiving challenging. CRI understands these challenges. Our veterans’ home care services alleviate the stress families often face, ensuring your veteran receives consistent, quality care.

Families often tell us their biggest concern is safety, knowing their loved one is well cared for while staying in their own home. CRI offers that reassurance. We assist with personal care, daily routines, and respite care, so you can focus on spending meaningful time together instead of worrying about every detail.

Providing this level of support results in less stress for families and a better quality of life for veterans.

If distance or responsibilities make caregiving difficult, our trained attendants can step in to help. They offer respectful assistance, encourage independence, and create positive daily interactions that improve emotional well-being. You’ll know your loved one is supported by people who care deeply about their comfort and dignity.

Living a Healthy, Fulfilling Life

Veterans deserve more than basic care; they deserve opportunities to live fully. While our veterans’ home care services meet physical needs, they also focus on emotional and social well-being. Many veterans living with disabilities face isolation, which can lead to loneliness or depression. That’s where veterans’ mental health support becomes essential.

Regular contact with our care attendants provides companionship and builds trust. Simple, consistent social interaction often makes a noticeable difference in mood and motivation. Attendants also encourage community involvement, helping veterans attend events, meet others, or participate in group activities that promote mental and emotional health.

At CRI, we go beyond day-to-day assistance. Through our Center for Independent Living, we provide additional disabled veterans support such as:

  • Group wellness programs promoting physical and emotional balance
  • Independent living skills training to strengthen confidence and capability
  • Assistive technology to make daily tasks easier

Our programs are practical, meaningful, and developed by people who understand what it’s like to face barriers to independence. Many of our team members have personal experience living with disabilities and can offer genuine empathy and guidance.
