Veteran Advantage Program

Our Veteran Advantage Program assists eligible veterans or surviving spouses to apply for the VA Aid & Attendance Benefit. If entitled, Aid & Attendance will cover the cost for personal home care services. The VA Aid & Attendance Benefit is a reimbursement pension for medical expenses where as home care is considered a medical expense.
