Aid & Attendance is paid to the veteran or surviving spouse, not to Sunburst Community Care, so it can go toward the monthly memory care bill like any other income. A doctor’s note on memory loss and the need for supervision usually carries the claim. If income looks too high on paper, read what to do when income seems too high before ruling the benefit out.
