Yes, veterans' benefits can pay for some degree of assisted living in the US, depending on your eligibility. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers programs to help eligible veterans and their spouses pay for assisted living and other long-term care services.
The VA's Aid and Attendance Pension benefit provides financial assistance to veterans and their surviving spouses who require the aid and attendance of another person or are unable to leave their homes due to a disability. In addition, this benefit can be used to cover the cost of assisted living and other long-term care services.
The VA additionally offers the Veterans Directed Home and Community-Based Services program, which allows eligible veterans to receive a flexible budget for long-term care services, including assisted living. This program gives veterans more control over their care and allows them to choose the services and providers that best meet their needs. To determine eligibility for these programs and other VA benefits, veterans and their families should contact their local VA office or visit the VA's website. It is also important to note that eligibility requirements and benefits may vary depending on the specific program and individual circumstances.
