Help at Home Launches Independence Promise to Expand Support for Veterans
New commitment aims to help more veterans live safely and independently at home while expanding employment opportunities, caregiver training and community partnerships
(CHICAGO, Ill. – Nov 11, 2026) In recognition of Veterans Day, Help at Home, the leading national provider of relationship-based, person-centered home care, today announced its Independence Promise, a new commitment to expanding the ways the organization serves and supports veterans across its communities.
The Independence Promise reflects Help at Home’s belief that honoring veterans extends beyond recognizing their service. It means helping ensure veterans have access to the care and support they need to live safely, independently and with dignity at home, while creating meaningful employment opportunities for veterans who continue their service to others in new ways.
“For those who served to protect our independence, we want to help protect theirs,” said Chief Caregiver Officer Joel Davis. “Our Independence Promise is about turning our gratitude into action. We’re committing to reaching more veterans with care, creating more opportunities for veterans within our workforce and strengthening the support available to the caregivers and communities who serve them.”
Through its Independence Promise, Help at Home will:
- Grow the number of veterans it supports by 25% over the next three years, building on the growth achieved over the past two years.
- Strive to serve and support more than 10,000 veterans through employment and care over the next five years.
- Expand veteran-focused community partnerships across Help at Home markets.
- Provide veteran-focused training for caregivers serving veteran clients.
- Increase veteran employment and recruitment across the organization.
The commitment comes as a growing number of veterans want to remain in their homes and communities as they age. Help at Home believes home care can play an important role in supporting that independence by providing personalized assistance with everyday needs while helping veterans remain connected to their families and communities.
The Independence Promise also builds on Help at Home’s existing relationships with veterans and veteran-serving organizations across its markets. Through expanded partnerships and outreach, the company aims to help more veterans and their families understand the care options and resources available to them.
Veterans are already valued members of Help at Home’s workforce, contributing their skills and experience in caregiving, operations and a wide range of roles across the organization. Building on this foundation, Help at Home plans to strengthen veteran recruitment efforts and expand opportunities for veterans to apply the leadership, resilience and commitment to service developed during their military careers.
“Veterans have spent their lives serving others, and that spirit of service aligns naturally with our Culture of Caring,” said Davis. “Whether we’re supporting a veteran in their home, welcoming a veteran into our workforce or partnering with organizations in the community, our goal is the same: to help create more Great Days and Meaningful Moments for those who have given so much.”
The Independence Promise is part of Help at Home’s broader commitment to helping older adults and people living with disabilities live with greater independence, dignity and connection in the place they call home.
