VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (301) 400-2465 | U.S. military veterans and their spouses living in residential care facilities can apply for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit to help meet some of their costs. It’s a monthly payment included in the VA pension that’s unique to each senior. The maximum payments are $1,881 for a single vet, $2,230 for a couple and $1,209 for a surviving spouse.

The families of residents and third parties can also register their concerns. Ombudsmen investigate all complaints and pursue resolutions between seniors and their facilities.
