My Mother is living in Assisted Living and has dementia. We found out that she is entitled to VA benefits called aid and attendance (dependence and indemnity compensation). There is an application process that I did with the help of www.veterans-express.com (they send you all the forms and then they send in the forms for you for a $400.00 fee). There are income requirements, diagnosis categories and you or your spouse must have served at least one day during a time of war. So, my Dad was in WWII. You need discharge papers, death certificate, bank statements, etc.
