Bickford of Marion 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. If income looks too high on paper, read what to do when income seems too high before ruling the benefit out.
