Aid and Attendance

How Aid and Attendance May Help Pay for Memory Care

Many veterans and surviving spouses in Des Plaines may not realize that Aid and Attendance can sometimes help with the cost of memory care. For those who qualify, the benefit may provide monthly financial support that helps offset ongoing care expenses. Because memory care communities typically provide structured support, daily oversight, and a safer setting for people with dementia, families often include this benefit in their long-term care planning. Eligibility depends on service, care needs, and finances, but for eligible families, it may help reduce out-of-pocket costs. Patriot Angels helps families understand whether this benefit may be part of the solution.

What this benefit may help with

Offsetting a portion of monthly memory care costs for eligible veterans and surviving spouses
Reducing some out-of-pocket expenses tied to secure housing, daily supervision, and dementia-focused support
Helping families understand whether military service, care needs, and finances may meet the benefit requirements
Making long-term care planning feel more manageable with clearer guidance on available support
