As a Surviving Spouse what benefits apply to me?

Many seniors, may need assistance with their daily activities as they age, especially after the loss of a loved one. This can include tasks such as bathing, dressing, using the bathroom, preparing meals, and doing laundry. Unfortunately, this kind of ongoing care, known as "custodial care," is not typically covered by health insurance, such as Medicare, even though it may be required due to medical conditions like heart failure, arthritis, or diabetes.

Visiting Angels steps into this gap and works with the Veteran Affairs Aid and Attendance benefit and can be a real lifeline for those in need of long-term care. Visiting Angels partners with this program which provides financial assistance to veterans and their surviving spouses who require the ongoing "aid and attendance" of another person to perform daily living activities. While it can be difficult to come to terms with the need for assistance, it's important to remember that Visiting Angels and the Aid and Attendance benefit exist to help seniors maintain their independence and dignity as they age. We would love to see if you or a surviving spouse qualifies for these benefits.
