    About

    At The Village of Harmony Hill, we are honored to serve those who have served our country. We understand that navigating veterans’ benefits can feel complex, especially during times of transition. Our team is here to walk alongside veterans and their families with guidance, respect, and clarity.

    Many veterans and their spouses may qualify for financial assistance through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including programs that help cover the cost of assisted living, memory care, or higher levels of support. These benefits can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses and make high-quality care more accessible.

    While we are not a VA facility, we proudly support veterans in accessing the resources available to them. Our team can:

    • Help families understand potential eligibility for VA Aid & Attendance and other pension benefits
    • Provide documentation needed for benefit applications
    • Connect families with trusted local Veterans Service Officers for application support
    • Coordinate care in a way that honors each veteran’s dignity and service

    Our goal is simple: to ensure veterans feel valued, supported, and truly at home within our community.

    If you or your loved one has served, we would be grateful to explore how we can serve you in return.

    What Is the VA Aid and Attendance Benefit?

    The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is a special pension enhancement offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It provides monthly, tax-free financial assistance to qualifying wartime Veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily living. This program is designed to make long-term care more affordable—whether that care is provided at home, in an assisted living facility, or in a memory care unit.

    Service Requirements

    The VA requires veterans to have served during a recognized wartime period and meet minimum active duty service rules.

    • Veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran.
    • Discharge must not be dishonorable.
    • Wartime service:
      • WWII (Dec 7, 1941 – Dec 31, 1946)
      • Korean Conflict (Jun 27, 1950 – Jan 31, 1955)
      • Vietnam War Era (Aug 5, 1964 – May 7, 1975, or Nov 1, 1955 for in-country service).
      • Gulf War (Aug 2, 1990 – present).
    • Active duty length: 90 days (before Sept 8, 1980) or 24 months (after Sept 7, 1980).
    Health and Care Needs

    Aid and Attendance is designed for veterans and spouses who need daily support due to medical or age-related challenges. Applicants must meet at least one health criteria.

    • Need assistance with two or more activities of daily living (ADLs) — such as bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility (transferring to/from bed).
    • Require a protected living environment due to physical or cognitive issues, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
    • Have a severe visual impairment — corrected vision of 5/200 or less in both eyes, or concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less (VA standard for “legally blind”).
    Financial Requirements

    In addition to service and health criteria, the VA reviews an applicant’s financial situation to ensure the Aid and Attendance benefit goes to families with genuine need. Both assets and income are considered when determining eligibility.

    • The applicant’s net worth must not exceed $163,698 (as of 2026).
    • Net worth = assets + annual income, minus certain deductible expenses like unreimbursed medical or care costs.
    • VA applies a three-year look-back rule on asset transfers:
      • If assets were given away or sold under fair market value within 36 months of application, this may affect eligibility.
    • Monthly income must be limited compared to ongoing medical and care expenses.
