Paying for Bickford of Fort Dodge with VA Benefits

Bickford of Fort Dodge 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 $5,380 bill
Two veterans married, both qualifying$3,845$1,535
Veteran married to a non-veteran$2,874$2,506

Compared with the Iowa median for assisted living of $5,380 a month (CareScout 2025). That is an area figure, not this community’s price; ask Bickford of Fort Dodge for its rate sheet.
