VA Aid & Attendance Benefit: what drives the number
VA Aid & Attendance is an enhanced pension for wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities, and it's widely underused. It can add a meaningful amount toward assisted living, memory care, or in-home care each month, and it follows the veteran rather than the facility. Greater Boston veterans apply through the VA Boston Healthcare System (West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, and Brockton campuses) and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans' Services; never pay a fee to file.
Sources Revere families combine
Most families stack several funding sources instead of leaning on one. Personal savings and Social Security typically go first, with long-term-care insurance next when a policy is already in place. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the VA Boston Healthcare System. And the MassHealth Frail Elder Waiver (with Senior Care Options for dual-eligible seniors 65 and older) can cover care services — though not ALR room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment. Revere pricing runs comparatively lower, still above the national average.
