Assisted living and senior care has made tremendous advancements over the last 15 years. There have been amazing improvements to lifestyle, culinary services, personal residences, activities, and other things that contribute to a rewarding retirement experience. Every senior deserves a comfortable, healthy, safe, enjoyable retirement experience following a lifetime spent working, raising families, and in the case of veterans, serving their country.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (also known as the VA), in its ongoing effort to provide strong support to its valued service personnel cover assisted living care for veterans and their spouses. This benefit extends to all members of the armed forces who have served at least 90 days of active duty during wartime over the course of their career.
This benefit is named the “Non-Service Connected Improved Pension Benefit with Aid and Attendance”.
If you’re searching for this benefit for yourself or a loved one, it might be listed under simply *aid and attendance*. Finding the best senior care accommodations, whether it’s for assisted living, memory care, or independent living, is a challenge all its own.
Once you’ve find a place to call home for your family, often determining how to pay for life in a beautiful senior living community is a question many families have to answer. The aid and attendance benefit varies according to marital status and other factors, but regardless of your individual situation, if you or a spouse has served during wartime, you can get help paying for assisted living services.
As an assisted living community in Ventura, we are compassionate to the fact that how to pay for assisted living is one of the most asked questions facing families. Knowing this benefit is available can help your family plan for assisted living accommodations in the future, and help relieve some of the emotional and financial stress that can develop during the transition to a senior living community.
