Helpful Information About the Veteran’s Aid and Attendance Benefit 2025 from Residences Senior Living
An important benefit for those who served in the United States Military and/or their surviving spouses can be used to support the monthly fees for assisted living or memory care. To help families and veterans better understand more about the benefit, eligibility, how and where to apply and more, we have created and posted a handy flyer. More Information is also available at our communities; our Directors of Sales and Marketing will be happy to discuss the “VA Benefit” with you during your personal tour.
Veterans with qualifying military service during World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam Era, American Merchant Marines, Gulf War as well as their spouses and/or surviving spouses may obtain the Veteran’s Aid and Attendance benefit to offset costs for care at Residences Senior Living. Whether the care is provided through Assisted Living or Memory Care in Residences at Deer Creek in Schererville or in Residences at Coffee Creek, Chesterton, we provide the care services which qualify for the Veteran’s Aid and Attendance Benefit.
2025 Veterans Benefits pay up to $2,795 monthly to veterans and their spouses for senior living with care; single veterans needing care receive $2,358. Qualifying surviving spouses receive $1,515; a married veteran whose spouse needs care receives a monthly benefit of $1,851. Residents who need the financial support to be able to move into senior living and receive care often apply for a bridge loan or depend on family until the VA benefits arrive.
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits are retroactive. You must already live in a senior living community and or receive qualifying care to obtain the benefits. The VA provides retroactive payments to cover costs already occurred once your application is processed and approved.
Call the VA at 800-827-1000 for their free services include answering questions and directing you to the application. Another option to help you complete the application, is to choose a paid site to simplify and guide you through the online process.
