VetAssist Florida client Beatrice Z. (91) and Donna Appel, Veterans Home Care National Sales Director (age undetermined), had a surprise reunion recently at the Senior Center where Beatrice takes art classes.
Beatrice, who has no family except a niece in New York, has been a VetAssist client for a little over a year.
The VetAssist Program helped Beatrice receive the VA’s Aid & Attendance benefit, which provides her with more than 47 hours of home care a month – care she couldn’t otherwise afford and that allows her to continue living in her own home.
“I just love to visit with her; she is doing great and she looks so happy to see me,” Appel said. “Originally, she said she didn’t want our help, but what would she do without it?”
