Memory care in Winston-Salem →Paying for The Southwood with VA Benefits
The Southwood 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. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to VA’s income and asset rules shows how assisted living costs lower countable income.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $6,496 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $2,651 |
| Veteran married to a non-veteran | $2,874 | $3,622 |
| Single veteran | $2,424 | $4,072 |
| Surviving spouse | $1,558 | $4,938 |
