Ted Pease: A Veteran Serving Veterans
Ted Pease, a Navy veteran and owner of Right at Home Main Line, embodies our mission by employing and caring for fellow veterans.
"Service is a big part of my life,” Ted said. “When I began thinking about entrepreneurship, I knew I wanted to find something that would allow me to continue serving in a meaningful way. The home care industry became the right opportunity for me to give back to the community I grew up in."
Comprehensive Care for Veterans
Our office is able to offer essential services for veterans through the VA Community Care Network (VCCN), including home health aide assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and respite care for family caregivers. On average, veterans receive between 12 to 14 hours of care per week, depending on their eligibility. Additionally, homemaker services provide companionship and help with housekeeping tasks that veterans may struggle to complete due to medical conditions.
Veteran Caregivers Making a Difference
Veteran caregivers like Joy, who has been with Right at Home for nearly 15 years, understand what their veteran clients have been through and can forge deeper connections. Joy, an Army veteran, leverages her military experience to provide a high level of service.
Joy cares for Gloria, a fellow Army veteran, and appreciates the bond they share.
"We work great together; she knows what she wants, and I appreciate her clear expectations,” Joy said. “I help her with daily tasks, from errands to appointments, making her life easier."
Gloria values the seamless execution of tasks and the understanding that comes from shared experiences.
"We communicate and work well together. Veterans understand what other veterans have been through, and I feel comfortable with Joy because of that,” Gloria said. “At this point, I can’t do a lot of things on my own, but Joy makes it easier for me to get through my daily tasks. She helps me with my mobility, cooking, and strengthening exercises so I can stay as healthy as possible. Joy takes me to my appointments, to get my hair done, and to go shopping. And she’s always on time; I like that."
Empowering Veterans Through Connection
Ted, Joy, and Gloria exemplify the veteran support model Right at Home empowers. This triad of service showcases how we address clients' immediate needs while fostering understanding and trust through shared experiences.
"It can be hard to have someone coming into your home that’s a stranger,” Ted said. “When you have someone who’s been there, it makes it easier. Veterans understand veterans, and it’s about more than caregiving; it’s about connection."
