Independent living in Bakersfield →Paying for Brookdale Riverwalk with VA Benefits
Brookdale Riverwalk is a private community, not run by VA, and that is exactly where Aid & Attendance helps: the benefit pays the veteran or surviving spouse, who can use it toward the monthly bill here. Most families pair it with Social Security, a pension, savings, or proceeds from selling a home. Before applying, review VA’s income and net worth limits so the assisted living bill is counted the right way.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $5,812 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $1,967 |
| Veteran married to a non-veteran | $2,874 | $2,938 |
| Single veteran | $2,424 | $3,388 |
| Surviving spouse | $1,558 | $4,254 |
Compared with the Bakersfield area average for assisted living of $5,812 a month (NIC MAP data published by Where You Live Matters). That is an area figure, not this community’s price; ask Brookdale Riverwalk for its rate sheet.
