Veteran's Aid & Attendance
If you are living at home in need of care from your family, a home care agency, independent living, assisted living or private paying in a skilled nursing facility you may be eligible for up to $2,727 per month to cover those expenses.
What Do You Qualify For?
Our team of Long-Term Care Specialists help seniors navigate the complexities of paying for the care that they need. Many seniors have run out of money either by out living their savings or have lost money in the downward economy. Some simply do not have money for their care.
