  • It doesn't cover long-term custodial care, including room, board, or help with daily activities.
  • Medicare does not pay for nonmedical services in assisted living, such as housekeeping, laundry, or transportation.
VA Benefits
  • VA pensions and disability benefits provide monthly payments to eligible veterans with limited income or service-connected conditions, helping offset assisted living expenses.
