Are you or your spouse a Veteran?

If yes, then you may be eligible for a separate pension through the VA called Aid & Attendance.  The Aid & Attendance Pension was established in 1952 to provide financial assistance to wartime veterans and/or their surviving spouses, who lack the funds necessary to pay for the care they require with routine activities of daily living such as, medication management, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, bathing, etc.  Care can be provided at home, in an independent living facility, an assisted living community, or a nursing home, and the care can be provided by relatives or professional staff.

If you served our country during a period of war you may be eligible for this pension.  With this pension you will be able to increase your dollars available to pay for care or move into the type of community where you can receive the services you need.  The Veteran and/or surviving spouse could receive up to $1,949 per month.  The pension is paid directly into the veterans or surviving spouses bank account and is completely TAX FREE.

The Wentworth at Draper Assisted Living and Memory Care has many residents who have benefited from the Aid & Attendance Pension. This benefit is a great financial resource and can help veterans and veteran spouses receive the care and attention they need and deserve. 

If you have any questions or need assistance with this pension, please give us a call at (801) 523-9393 or contact us by email.
