Memory care in Sumter →Paying for The Gardens at Sumter with VA Benefits
The Gardens at Sumter 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. Recurring assisted living bills count as medical expenses; how VA counts medical expenses explains the math.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $5,350 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $1,505 |
| Veteran married to a non-veteran | $2,874 | $2,476 |
| Single veteran | $2,424 | $2,926 |
| Surviving spouse | $1,558 | $3,792 |
Compared with the South Carolina median for assisted living of $5,350 a month (CareScout 2025). That is an area figure, not this community’s price; ask The Gardens at Sumter for its rate sheet.
