Meridian at Westwood 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. Families usually combine it with savings, retirement income, the sale of a home, or long-term care insurance. Before applying, review VA’s income and asset rules so the assisted living bill is counted the right way.
