Yes, if one of your parents is a Vet Aid and Attendance is a possibility but a word of caution. I got that for my Dad, a WWII Vet but now both his and my mothers combined income is above the amount allowed to receive Medicaid. So all those services are unavailable to both of them. And their combined income does not pay for assisted living which is minimum $3500 per month. They have no assets and no income other than their social security and the Aid and Attendance, yet their medical costs WITH INSURANCE comes to $1800.00 per month which I have to pay not to mention their basic monthly needs (toilet paper etc). I have them at a Retirement Living place which includes meals and light housekeeping but that is all it includes.
Choosing an assisted living is an option all seniors should consider. Not only do they get the support of housekeeping, meals, transportation and care but they benefit too from the social aspect. Remaining engaged socially and physically is the key to long life. Living at home alone allows then to deteriorate more rapidly. Veterans and their widows have money available to help them pay for assisted living throught the VA Aid & Attendance Improved Pension.
