Because Aid & Attendance is paid to the veteran or surviving spouse rather than to Brookdale Union, it can go toward the monthly bill here like any other income. 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.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $6,496 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $2,651 |

| Single veteran | $2,424 | $4,072 |
| Surviving spouse | $1,558 | $4,938 |
