The VA Benefit can pay for rent in an independent living community
Let us help you qualify for an extra $2,229/month as a wartime Veteran.
The “Aide and Attendance” program provides extra payments to qualified veterans who live in an assisted living community like Lakeside. You can use the VA payment to cover the cost of rent, meals, and care at Lakeside, letting you keep more of your own funds for other purposes.
We are working with Patriot Angels, an organization whose sole mission is to help Veterans qualify for this benefit.

Lakeside role:
Lakeside is a licensed independent living community, and meets all the requirements for this program. Residing at Lakeside will help your application clearly meet the need for care assistance during review by the VA. Payments you make to Lakeside can also potentially be used as an “offset” to the monthly income limits of the program under some circumstances.
Can you imagine the difference an extra $1,250 to $3,017/month in a veteran’s pocket would do for you or a loved one?
