Aid & Attendance Benefits for Columbus Veterans
If you’re a veteran who served during wartime and currently require assistance with living conditions or in-home care, and your care costs are nearing your monthly income, the VA Aid & Attendance benefits could potentially cover the cost of the necessary help and care you need. VA Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits can also provide extra payments to veterans and their surviving spouses needing personal assistance or confined to their homes. Requirements include needing help with personal care, being bedridden, living in a nursing home or assisted living center due to needing assistance from a caregiver, or having severe visual impairment.
Our team will help you understand your options
Here are some factors we’ll help you consider:
- “Secret benefits” are available to certain veterans over the age of 65
- These benefits can be used to pay for home health, assisted living, and nursing home care
- Veterans can receive $1,900 or more per month in VA Aid & Attendance benefits
- Home care costs can range from $24 to $40 per hour, depending on where you live
- Assisted Living can cost $3,000 to more than $12,000 per month

Given this information, it’s smart to begin planning now for how to pay for the care you or your spouse may need one day. This is particularly important if one of you has received a diagnosis such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, ALS, or Parkinson’s or had a significant stroke or other debilitating condition. If you are not confident that your assets and income will be enough to pay for quality long-term care, whether that be in a nursing home, assisted living center, or even in your own home, there are steps you can take now to make sure you will qualify for the appropriate government assistance program to help you with these costs while preserving property and assets for yourself, your spouse, your children, and grandchildren.
