Our Story:

Veterans Home Care, was founded in 2003 after Edith Sperling, mother of our founder, Bonnie Laiderman, passed away from cancer. Late in Edith’s illness, Bonnie learned of a Department of Veterans Affairs benefit for veterans or surviving spouses, called “Aid and Attendance”, which can pay for personal care services. Edith, the widow of a Korean War veteran, would have qualified. But by the time Bonnie applied for the pension on her mother’s behalf, it was too late. Edith passed before her application was approved. It was then that Bonnie vowed to start her own private company to serve the needs of veterans and their surviving spouses.

Since our founding we have helped over 14,000 veterans or their surviving spouses receive assistance with activities of daily living and retain their quality of life.
