Independent living in Hockessin →Paying for The Summit with VA Benefits
Because Aid & Attendance is paid to the veteran or surviving spouse rather than to The Summit, it can go toward the monthly bill here like any other income. Most families pair it with Social Security, a pension, savings, or proceeds from selling a home. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to Aid & Attendance income and net worth limits shows how assisted living costs lower countable income.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $7,600 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $3,755 |
| Veteran married to a non-veteran | $2,874 | $4,726 |
| Single veteran | $2,424 | $5,176 |
| Surviving spouse | $1,558 | $6,042 |
Compared with the Delaware median for assisted living of $7,600 a month (CareScout 2025). That is an area figure, not this community’s price; ask The Summit for its rate sheet.
