How a Veteran Can Get the Care He or She Needs
People have more options when they have money – or no money – but people in the middle can't necessarily sell their house or other possessions to get the funds they need. For some, there's a program that can help.

It's a timely conversation to have around Memorial Day.
Your parents aren't rich... but they're "technically" not poor.
So how can they afford home care?
People have more options when they have money – or no money – but people in the middle can’t necessarily sell their house or other possessions to get the funds they need.
For some... there's a program that can help.
Our Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefit can help you to afford home care.
The program allows you to keep your home and maintain money in liquid assets without spending down – which means depleting almost all income and assets to meet usual eligibility requirements for Medicaid.
At Always Best Senior Care Services, we not only provide outstanding care for Veterans, but we also help them obtain the funds to pay for the care they need.
We have established relationships with law firms, paralegals, and others who can help guide veterans through the maze of obtaining VA benefits. On a national basis, Always Best Care Senior Services has also established a partnership with the Center for Elder Veterans Rights, a Tennessee-based law firm, to assist Veterans throughout the country.
A unique benefit of the Always Best Care Senior Services Veterans Assistance Program is a 100 percent guarantee offered to Always Best Care Senior Services and its veteran clients by the CFEVR.
If a Veteran is denied VA benefits after the Center has completed a pre-filing consultation review and provided an opinion of apparent eligibility, CFEVR will reimburse the Veteran for the cost of care paid to Always Best Care Senior Services (up to the amount that would have been paid by VA benefits), and they will also reimburse either Always Best Care Senior Services or the Veteran for any costs of legal fees incurred for the pre-filing consultation.
The guarantee is valid provided the information presented by clients to CFEVR is not incomplete, false, or misleading.
As part of our program, we want to help Veterans and their families understand what VA programs are available and if they are legally qualified before making a decision to purchase care.
