Bedford Assisted Living Costs and VA Benefits
No separate Bedford figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Virginia median of $6,945 a month (CareScout 2025), $745 above the U.S. median of $6,200. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to Aid & Attendance income and net worth limits shows how assisted living costs lower countable income. In Bedford, as elsewhere, the care level written into the plan moves the price more than the apartment does.
