If you or your spouse are a veteran, there are various benefits that can help you pay for the cost of care. Unfortunately, accessing these benefits can be complex. That's why we're here to assist our veterans and their families in exploring the resources available to them.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides various benefits, including the Aid and Attendance pension, designed to support veterans with the cost of care.
Our team at Spring Oak is committed to helping veterans make the most of the benefits they've earned through their service. Whether you're a veteran or a family member seeking information, we're here to guide you through the eligibility criteria, application process, and available programs.
We’ve put together some valuable resources to make senior living more accessible. It's our way of expressing gratitude for the incredible contributions of our veterans.
Here's a quick guide to understanding eligibility for the Aid and Attendance pension:
To qualify, veterans must have served at least 90 days of active duty, with at least one day during a wartime period. (Wartime periods include World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War.)
Veterans or their surviving spouses must require help with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility. A medical professional's evaluation may be needed to establish eligibility.
There are financial thresholds to meet, but these can vary. The VA considers income, assets, and medical expenses when determining eligibility.
There is no specific age requirement, but the need for assistance due to a medical condition is a key factor.
Our team at Spring Oak is dedicated to helping veterans and their families understand and navigate the criteria and application process. We're here to provide support at every step of the way.
