The mission of the Vet Resource Center, Inc (VRC) is dedicated to providing, through educational, information and resource identification, a basic available benefits education for every veteran in America.
Our online source, VetResourceCenter.com, has been created to help veterans and their families find information about the local, State and National benefits, services, and activities available. Not only veteran related information but also issues that affect every family.
Vet Resource Center Inc. provides early warning cancer tests for our Veterans exposed to Burn Pits and Toxins during their military service. Statistics show that of the 4.2 million that served, over 500,000 cases of cancer have been diagnosed and over 240,000 of those veterans have already died. An early warning cancer blood test that scans for 50 different types of cancer that costs $950 is available. Vet Resource Center has partnered with Grail, the company that manufactures the Galleri test to acquire the test for a reduced price and provide the test for free to our exposed veterans.

CAPTEL CAPTIONED PHONES
We provide those with hearing loss with a captioning phone and captioning service completely free.
This is a tax-funded program so there is no cost for the phone or the installation and no contracts or monthly fee.
The only requirements to qualify are:
1) Trouble hearing or understanding what’s being said to you over the phone.
2) High-speed Internet. You DO NOT need a landline for this service, only internet.
The phone will caption conversations in real time, so if someone has trouble hearing or understanding what’s being said over the phone, they can glance at the screen and keep up.
We come to the home, set the phone up and teach clients how to use it.
This program is essential for helping older clients age in place and provides an extra layer of safety in the event of an emergency because they will be able to better hear and understand what’s being said to them over the phone.
We can provide a phone to a client’s home, their workplace or any assisted or Independent Living community.

COMMUNITY COMPANION CARE
After years of experience with our own family, we decided to put a team together with the express purpose of working with the elderly and disabled adults. We work closely with physicians, and healthcare professionals, as well as legal guardians and healthcare surrogates. Most seniors would like to remain in their home as long as possible, and our services can be used to help achieve that goal. We have the very best non-medical services available.
If you, or your loved one, is trying to make that transition, but you are not yet sure, allow us to act as a liaison for families from afar. We can continue our service for you even after you go into an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home, by making motivational visits, and (officially) unscheduled checkups including a progress report back to distant families. We only hire the most compassionate companion care providers, and each one is carefully screened for safe driving records, a drug test, and a background check. An agency representative will follow up after each appointment to be sure you are happy with all our services.
