It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
To qualify for Aid and Attendance, ones total net worth needs to be less than around 130K
But other things to be aware of: If he ever goes on hospice he can go to a veterans home, or more importantly a private SNF with a contract with VA for free
Also, if he were to do this, all expenses after passing are passed onto VA like transportation from SNF to mortuary to cemetary
Sign up for the general weekly VA newsletter, with information on services for veterans of all ages, as well as other programs, including those that might benefit caregivers.
Your husband will be assigned to a team; in the past, teams had social workers, who can be of immense help. My father's team's social worker clued me in to caregiver programs of which I was unaware.
We registered for care through the local county VA office; our state has one as well, and the rep with whom I spoke was not only a Veteran himself, but he was very, very helpful in providing insights for what might be available.
I hope you're successful in getting help, and please thank your husband for his service.
the best way to find out what he is entitled to is to contact your local Veterans Assistance Commission. They can check his records and help determine what benefits he is entitled to. Their service is FREE. It does help if you can provide them with as much information as you can. I am guessing he is WW11 Veteran. And because of recent changes there is a good possibility that YOU can get paid to care for him as well.
If he served during wartime, then yes, he should be entitled to Aid & Attendance benefits as my dad was. When my dad needed Assisted Living, I went to see an Elder Care attorney for advice & guidance. He let me know about a State Veteran's Service Officer at the Department of Military & Veteran's Affairs who would help me fill out the paperwork to get him Aid & Attendance benefits of $2300+ a month (at the time, with my mother alive too in 2014). At that time, he had to have less than $50K in assets (combined with my mother) and need assistance with ADLs, activities of daily living, which he did. The Service Officer filled out the application for me; I just brought all the required documents with me! He was approved, got the A&A benefits for a little over a year until he passed away, and now my mother is still receiving the survivor benefits of about $1433 a month since she lives in Memory Care AL & needs a lot of help.
I suggest you see an Elder Care attorney for guidance; that was the best thing I ever did!
