Are VA Nursing Homes Free for Veterans?
|
Q. My father is a Vietnam veteran who will almost certainly need nursing home care in the future. Will the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) nursing home system take care of him for free? Are VA nursing homes as good as private ones? Are there many VA nursing homes in the DC Metro area? And do they take all veterans, or only certain ones? I’m hoping my family won’t have to worry about planning for how
to pay for long-term care because the VA nursing home system will be there for us if and when needed. Thanks for your help!
Critter Corner: Veteran’s Benefits for Spouses
|
Welcome to the Critter Corner team! I'm hoping you can help answer my question about veteran's benefits. My wife was a veteran before she passed away last year. I miss her dearly and am just getting around to figuring everything out. I am wondering if you can tell me what veteran's benefits are available for spouses.

About Hayek:
Hayek the dog is the newest member of our Critter Corner team. He joined the team of talented writers in late 2018 when his guardian, Sierra Kolasa of the Client Services team, started bringing him to the office regularly. Hayek, believed to be a mix of a Miniature Schnauzer and Yorkshire Terrier, is a sweet, gentle, and loving pet who greatly enjoys greeting clients, who always enjoy his elegant appearance and
affections. Hayek can be found sleeping under Sierra’s desk or in the conference room learning the nuances of Medicaid planning or other exciting topics to share with our readers. Hayek’s other favorite activity is trying to play with Magic the bunny. Magic makes Hayek’s tail wag 100 miles per hour! Magic is very tolerant of Hayek’s attention, but unfortunately doesn’t share his desire to “play,” presumably due to their difference in species. Nevertheless, Hayek and Magic maintain a strong and
cordial working relationship as Critter Corner team members. If you see Hayek in the office, give him a pat, and you’re guaranteed to get a tail wag and lots of love in return!
