How to Utilize Veterans Benefits to Pay for Assisted Living and Memory Care
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers programs that can help cover the costs associated with long-term care, including assisted living and memory care services.
Aid and Attendance (A&A) Pension Benefit
The Aid and Attendance benefit enhances the standard VA pension for veterans and surviving spouses who require help with daily living activities.
Eligibility Requirements:
The veteran must have served at least 90 days of active duty, with at least one day during a wartime period.
The veteran or their spouse must require help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, or managing medications.
The veteran must meet specific income and asset thresholds, though these limits account for medical and care-related expenses.
How It Helps:
A&A benefits provide additional monthly income that can be used to pay for assisted living, memory care, or in-home care services.
