BRAVE and In-Home Care: Supporting Veterans Through Healing and Compassion

At Elara Caring, we are honored to care for those who have served our country. Veterans often face unique challenges related to both their physical health and emotional wellbeing.

That’s why Elara Caring offers veteran-centric care. BRAVE is a specialized PTSD recovery program designed to meet the distinct care needs of combat veterans, while also providing comprehensive support through our skilled home health, behavioral health and hospice service lines.

The BRAVE Program: Supporting Veterans in Their Journey Home

BRAVE is an interactive, trauma-informed program that focuses on helping veterans recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and adjust to life after service.

This program targets the unique needs of combat veterans by addressing:

• The transition to home and community life.
• Medication adherence and health system navigation.
• Access to community supports and resources.

BRAVE uses evidence-based tools, pre- and post-assessments and personalized action plans developed by specially trained behavioral health nurses.

Key Benefits of BRAVE:

• 24/7/365 availability so support is always within reach
• Early intervention before emotional decline becomes a crisis
• Interactive workbook and guided action plans
• A focus on physical, mental and emotional healing
• Encouragement for veterans to define their own path forward after combat

Skilled Home Health: Restoring Strength and Independence

Elara Caring’s skilled home health services help veterans recover safely at home after illness, injury or surgery. Our nurses, therapists and aides deliver personalized clinical care designed to restore strength, promote independence and support overall wellness.

For veterans, home health care can play a vital role in bridging the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery—particularly for those managing chronic conditions or complex medication schedules.

Our skilled teams help veterans:

• Regain mobility and physical function through rehabilitation.
• Manage medications effectively and safely.
• Improve nutrition and symptom control.
• Coordinate with VA or community-based services for ongoing support.

By meeting veterans where they are, physically and emotionally, our clinicians help them achieve meaningful recovery in the comfort of home.

Behavioral Health: Healing the Invisible Wounds

Many veterans face emotional and psychological challenges that can linger long after their service ends. Elara Caring’s behavioral health services provide compassionate, trauma-informed support for veterans dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression and other behavioral health conditions.

Our behavioral health nurses specialize in crisis prevention, emotional regulation and connection to community resources. Through ongoing collaboration and consistent care, they help veterans build coping strategies and develop tools for long-term well-being.

Hospice: Honoring Veterans at the End of Life

At the end of life, veterans deserve care that honors their service, respects their experiences and provides comfort for both them and their families.

Elara Caring’s hospice services ensure that veterans receive compassionate medical care, emotional support and spiritual guidance tailored to their needs.

Our hospice teams:

• Deliver expert pain and symptom management.
• Provide trauma-informed emotional and spiritual support.
• Offer veteran-to-veteran companionship and recognition ceremonies.
• Support families through grief, legacy projects and counseling resources.

Supporting Veteran Family Caregivers

Behind every veteran is a caregiver offering love, time, and dedication. Elara Caring provides education and resources to help family caregivers understand PTSD, manage stress and maintain their own health and wellbeing.

Our teams guide caregivers in:

• Recognizing signs of emotional distress.
• Building coping skills for daily caregiving.
• Accessing community and respite resources.
• Creating shared care goals that promote family stability and healing.
