Memory care in Lake Placid →Paying for Southern Life Assisted Living with VA Benefits
Southern Life Assisted Living 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. Southern Life Assisted Living families can find the benefit amounts and filing rules in our Aid & Attendance fact sheet.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $5,610 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $1,765 |
| Veteran married to a non-veteran | $2,874 | $2,736 |
| Single veteran | $2,424 | $3,186 |
| Surviving spouse | $1,558 | $4,052 |
Compared with the Florida median for assisted living of $5,610 a month (CareScout 2025). That is an area figure, not this community’s price; ask Southern Life Assisted Living for its rate sheet.
