Caregiver Support at Your Finger Tips!- Caregivers are the devoted individuals who care for our Veterans who live with war injuries, are chronically ill, or aging. Often, without a Caregiver, Veterans may not have the ability to remain in their own home. Caregivers help with a diverse range of needs including, but not limited to, physical and emotional support, and assistance with access to health care. The VA is making a strong effort to recognize the daily, selfless challenges of the Caregivers who support our Veterans.
