Honoring Veterans: How Áegis Living Supports Heroes

Honoring Veterans at Áegis Living

How Áegis Living Recognizes Military Service

Honoring veterans is an important part of life at Áegis Living. Our communities recognize residents who served, help families learn about available veterans benefits, and create meaningful ways to celebrate military service. By honoring veterans with gratitude, dignity, and personal recognition, we preserve their stories and acknowledge the sacrifices they and their families have made.

It is our honor to care for the veterans in our communities and hopefully, make a difference in the lives of your loved ones. Here are two of the many ways we honor our veterans living at Áegis Living:

Bringing Awareness to Veterans Benefits

Veterans over the age of 65 now number more than 12.6 million. These veterans have seen conflicts around the world, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and even the Persian Gulf War. The Department of Veteran Affairs is committed to providing benefits and services to these aging veterans, including their changing healthcare needs. But many are not getting the benefits they are eligible for because veterans and their families are unaware of the available programs and how to file for these benefits.

Did you know the VA Aid and Attendance program benefits may be available to you to help pay for assisted living and memory care expenses? Under the VA Aid and Attendance Special Pension, also known as the A&A Pension, qualified veterans or their surviving spouses can receive tax-free monthly sums meant to help defray the costs of assisted living. To be eligible, you must be a veteran who has served at least 90 days in active duty with at least one day during wartime. You must have been honorably discharged, and some income restrictions may apply. For more information and to see if you are eligible, contact a Veterans Service Officer at a regional VA office or call 1.800.827.1000.
