Many veterans need help at home as they get older. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers benefit programs that help cover the cost of this care. The challenge is knowing what’s available and how to get it.

Step one is getting enrolled in VA health care. From there, eligibility depends on your service record, any service-connected disabilities, income, and the level of help you need at home. Every program has its own rules, so knowing the basics can make the process smoother.

Caitlin, an 11-year-old, and Frank, a 91-year-old care home resident, formed an unlikely but heartwarming friendship through the “Adopt a Grandfriend” scheme at Steeton Court Nursing Home in Keighley, UK. Frank, originally from Liverpool and a former choir member, missed singing after his group disbanded. The program, launched by Spellman Care to combat isolation after Covid, pairs children with residents for activities like singing, crafts, and letter exchanges.

Over six months, Caitlin and Frank bonded over humor and shared experiences, with Caitlin finding inspiration in Frank’s life stories and Frank enjoying the connection with youth. The initiative benefits both generations by reducing loneliness, improving communication skills, and fostering confidence. As Frank says, “A smile can make your day.”

Frank Uryasz, a lively 95-year-old resident of Re*****on Heights in Omaha, Nebraska, has become the heart of a Taylor Swift fan club at his retirement community. It all began when his occupational therapist, Sarah Zajic, a devoted Swiftie, introduced him to Swift’s music during a therapy session. Enthralled, Uryasz dove into Swift’s world, sharing articles, creating buttons, and eventually founding a fan club that quickly gained popularity among fellow residents.

The club, now a vibrant part of the community, has brought joy, energy, and connection to Re*****on Heights, especially for Uryasz, who found renewed purpose after the loss of his wife. The group’s current mission? To catch Taylor Swift’s attention and hopefully welcome her for a visit, with Uryasz ready to greet her with a hug (pending Travis Kelce’s permission, of course).
