Veteran's Benefits

Did you know that Veterans benefits may be available to you for certain types of residences?

Veterans Affairs has established an “Aid and Attendance” benefits program to assist eligible veterans and dependents who are entitled to VA pension or VA compensation. The "Aid and Attendance" benefit provides funding for qualified individuals who need assisted living care.

In order to qualify for the “Aid and Attendance” benefit:

1. You must be a veteran who served at least 90 days in active duty with at least one day served during wartime; and was honorably discharged.
2. You must be a surviving spouse of a veteran currently receiving nursing care or aid and attendance services.

Some income restrictions apply.

RainbowVision Santa Fe is committed to working closely with local county Veterans Service Officers or local VA representatives to help qualified, prospective residents receive "Aid and Attendance" or any other benefits resulting from military service.

Other qualifications may apply. Federal and state tax laws may affect your personal return and ability to deduct expenses. This information is not to be used for or construed as legal advice as each person's specific situation is different. Always consult an accountant or attorney before making these decisions.
