Maximizing Your Earned Benefits on the Treasure Coast

At A Star Above Senior Home Care, Inc., we believe that those who protected our freedom deserve to have their own dignity protected in return. Navigating VA benefits shouldn't be a second tour of duty.

 

We specialize in helping Veterans and surviving spouses in Vero Beach, Sebastian, and Port St. Lucie access the financial support they’ve earned to pay for high-quality home care.

The 2026 VA Aid & Attendance Advantage

The Aid & Attendance (A&A) benefit is a tax-free monthly pension "add-on" for wartime Veterans and their surviving spouses who require assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, medication management).

​

​Many families mistakenly believe they don't qualify because their income is "too high." Our advocacy team understands how to use home care expenses as a "deduction" to help you meet the VA's financial criteria. 

 

With the recent adjustments to the 2026 VA pension rates, more families than ever qualify for supplemental income to cover professional home advocacy. We provide a complimentary audit to see how these new rates apply to your situation.

How ASASHC Serves Our Heroes

We don't just provide a caregiver; we provide a Veteran Advocate.

​

  • The "Mission-First" Match: We thoughtfully pair Veterans with caregivers who respect military history and understand the unique needs of those who served. Our matching process considers personality, communication style, and shared values, helping foster trust, dignity, and meaningful connection. By honoring service and recognizing the importance of structure, respect, and independence, we create care relationships that feel natural, supportive, and deeply personal.

​​

  • Paperwork Partnership: We work alongside local Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) in Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin Counties to help ensure your claim is prepared and processed accurately. By coordinating with these knowledgeable advocates, we help families navigate paperwork, understand eligibility requirements, and avoid common delays. This collaborative approach allows Veterans and their loved ones to feel confident that they are accessing the benefits they earned, while we focus on supporting care needs every step of the way.

​​

  • Surviving spouse benefits in Florida: Our advocacy extends beyond the veteran. We specialize in helping families secure surviving spouse benefits in Florida, ensuring the partners of our heroes are never left without a 'Raised Bar' standard of care.

 

The Guide Model Adaptation: Our proprietary care model includes specific protocols designed to support Veterans dealing with service-related injuries, PTSD, or memory loss. Caregivers are trained to recognize triggers, maintain structured routines, and provide calm, reassuring environments that promote comfort and stability.

 

We also focus on communication techniques, mobility support, and cognitive engagement tailored to each Veteran’s unique experience, ensuring care remains respectful, personalized, and responsive to both physical and emotional needs.
