Paying for Meridian at Lake San Marcos with VA Benefits

Meridian at Lake San Marcos 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 the income and net worth limits so the assisted living bill is counted the right way.

HouseholdMaximum Aid & Attendance per monthLeft of a $7,000 bill
Two veterans married, both qualifying$3,845$3,155
Veteran married to a non-veteran$2,874$4,126
Single veteran$2,424$4,576
Surviving spouse$1,558$5,442

Compared with the California median for assisted living of $7,000 a month (CareScout 2025). That is an area figure, not this community’s price; ask Meridian at Lake San Marcos for its rate sheet.
