You may qualify for assistance to help cover the costs of assisted living in Miami. If you are a United States veteran or surviving spouse of a Veteran, you may qualify for the Aid & Attendance Program and receive monthly benefits to help cover the costs of assisted living care. It allows for Veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in day-today activities to receive additional monetary compensation and care in an assisted living facility also qualifies. Additionally this is a tax-free benefit that most veterans needing assistance qualify for.

Imperial Club will help you learn more about the Aid & Attendance Program through our trusted benefit administrator, Veterans First Community. V1 will guide your family in applying for the benefits through the Department of Veteran Affairs.

What is the Aid & Attendance Benefit?

Aid & Attendance is a Federal benefit that was added onto a need-based pension offered through The Department of Veteran Affairs. It provides benefits for veterans and surviving spouses who need assistance with their activities of daily living and meet specific requirements. Care provided in an assisting living facility qualifies.
