Beyond Gratitude—Providing Real Support for Our Veterans
Public appreciation for veterans is powerful—but it’s not enough. Many aging or disabled veterans need more than a symbolic “thank you.” They need real, accessible support—especially when it comes to healthcare and daily living assistance.
That’s where in-home care through the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA CCN) comes in. At Rivers of Hope, we’re proud to serve veterans across Massachusetts by providing compassionate, high-quality care right at home—where it matters most.
What Is the Veteran Affairs Community Care Network (CCN)?
The Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Network (CCN) allows eligible veterans to receive healthcare services from approved providers outside the VA system. That includes vital home health services like personal care, housekeeping, and companionship.
Rivers of Hope is an approved CCN provider, meaning we work directly with the VA to ensure veterans get the care they deserve—without unnecessary delays or confusion.
Why In-Home Care Is Vital for Veterans
Many veterans live with long-term health challenges—from physical injuries to emotional trauma. In-home care supports their unique needs while promoting comfort, dignity, and independence.
In-home care is often the most comfortable, cost-effective, and empowering option, offering personalized services tailored to each veteran’s specific needs—right where they feel safest: home.
Key benefits of in-home care for veterans include:
- Remaining in a familiar environment
- Maintaining independence and dignity
- Receiving one-on-one attention
- Reducing the risk for emergency room visits and readmissions
- Relieving stress for family caregivers
