A Guide for Caregivers of Veterans or Service Members

Every caregiving journey is unique — shaped by your loved one’s needs and your role in their life. There are amazing resources to help guide you through it.

Being a military spouse and working with so many veterans in my real estate business, I’m particularly sensitive to resources for those caregivers of veterans and service members. I recently stumbled upon AARP’s free Military Caregiving Guide — a practical tool to help you stay organized, find resources, and create a personalized caregiving plan.

Caregiving generally includes:

  • Checking in regularly and offering companionship
  • Providing transportation or helping with errands
  • Preparing meals and handling household chores
  • Assisting with personal care
  • Performing medical or nursing tasks
  • Coordinating appointments and care plans

Whether you’re supporting someone on active duty, retired, wounded, ill, or disabled, you don’t have to do it alone. AARP has amazing resources available for you including their Free Military Caregiving Guide.

This easy-to-use guide helps you:

  • Stay organized throughout your caregiving journey
  • Identify available resources and support systems
  • Build and adapt a caregiving plan that fits your situation

You can go through the guide from start to finish or jump straight to the sections that matter most to you. And as your veteran’s needs evolve, revisit the guide to reassess and update your plan.
