Memory Care in Winston-Salem →Paying for Memory Care at The Southwood
Aid & Attendance is paid to the veteran or surviving spouse, not to The Southwood, 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.
| Household | Maximum Aid & Attendance per month | Left of a $7,113 bill |
|---|---|---|
| Two veterans married, both qualifying | $3,845 | $3,268 |
| Veteran married to a non-veteran | $2,874 | $4,239 |
