The VA Aid & Attendance program can help elderly veterans in Harrisonburg and Rockingham, Shenandoah & Page Counties pay for personalized in-home care services from Visiting Angels.

VA Aid & Attendance is a long-term care insurance and medical assistance program for veterans and their eligible dependents. It is not just for veterans with service-connected disabilities.

These seniors regularly receive VA benefits and may also be eligible for Social Security benefits.

Suppose you are a veteran, surviving spouse, or child without service-connected disabilities. In that case, you may be able to receive an increased monthly VA pension payment if you attend in-home help services for more than 30 days per month.

Is Your Senior Loved One Eligible for Aid & Attendance (A&A)?

Your loved one may be eligible to receive Aid & Attendance (A&A) benefits if they meet the following conditions:

• If they are a senior patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity
  If they are bedridden or disabled
  If they have reasonably limited vision (5/200 visual acuity or less in both eyes)
  If they require in-home care services such as assistance with bathing, feeding, dressing, toileting, mobility, and other activities of daily living (ADL)

In addition to the Aid & Attendance benefit, if your loved one is eligible, you may also be able to receive an increase in monthly pension.
