Commitment to Care in Santa Rosa
As an agency deeply rooted in the Santa Rosa community, we at Homewatch CareGivers of Santa Rosa pride ourselves on serving those who served us. Veterans Day is a time of national reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices made by people in uniform. Yet, for us, honoring veterans extends far beyond this single day of recognition. Our commitment to providing exceptional veteran home care services throughout Santa Rosa and neighboring areas is an integral part of how we give back.
What is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11th, is a national holiday dedicated to honoring and thanking all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Unlike Memorial Day, which commemorates those who lost their lives in service, Veterans Day celebrates the living veterans who have contributed to the safety and freedom of our nation.
The holiday originated as Armistice Day in 1919, marking the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. In 1954, following the contributions of American service members in World War II and the Korean War, Congress officially renamed it Veterans Day to include all veterans, regardless of when or where they served.
On this day, communities across the nation hold parades, ceremonies, and moments of silence to reflect on the sacrifices and bravery of military members. It’s also a time when many organizations, including Homewatch CareGivers of Santa Rosa, show their gratitude through gestures of appreciation and support for those who have served.
For us, Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s an opportunity to reflect on the profound impact veterans have had on our lives and to recommit ourselves to serving them with the care and respect they deserve year-round.
Celebrating Veterans in Santa Rosa
This past Veterans Day, we continued our annual tradition of personally visiting our veteran clients to express our appreciation. With heartfelt gratitude, our office staff—including myself—visited each of our veteran clients, delivering thoughtful gifts. This year, we presented them with beautiful American flag blankets accompanied by handwritten notes, a gesture to honor their service and let them know they are remembered and valued.
These small but meaningful acts are part of a larger mission to ensure veterans feel supported year-round, not just during moments of national commemoration. Santa Rosa is home to many veterans, and our role as caregivers allows us to directly impact their lives, offering personalized care that caters to their unique needs.
Credentialed to Serve Those Who Served
As a credentialed agency for caregivers in Santa Rosa, CA, we are proud to provide in-home care for veterans with various needs. Through the VA’s Homemaker/Home Health Aide (HHA) program, we assist veterans with essential daily activities, including bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication reminders. These services are designed to help veterans maintain their independence and dignity while living comfortably in their homes.
Our work doesn’t stop at caregiving. We also guide veterans and their families through the often-complex process of navigating VA benefits, ensuring they receive the support they are entitled to. This comprehensive approach sets us apart as a trusted agency for veteran home care in Santa Rosa, CA, and surrounding areas.

Veterans throughout Sonoma County, from Petaluma to Windsor, rely on our dedicated services. Whether it’s live-in caregivers in Rohnert Park, CA, or caregivers at home in Novato, CA, we bring our expertise and compassion to each household. Every veteran we serve has a unique story and set of needs, and our team takes the time to provide personalized care plans that reflect their individuality.
Our veteran clients are not just in Santa Rosa; they span across neighboring communities such as Sonoma, Sebastopol, and Cotati. This wide service area ensures that veterans in Sonoma County have access to the quality care they deserve, regardless of location.
Specialized Care for Veterans
Veterans often face unique challenges, from physical disabilities to mental health concerns such as PTSD or memory loss. As an experienced provider of dementia home care services in Santa Rosa, CA, we are well-equipped to address these needs. Our caregivers are trained to support veterans with compassion, patience, and respect, ensuring they feel comfortable and understood.
