VA Nursing Homes, Veterans Benefits & Advocates
US Department of Veterans Affairs Income Program for Veterans
Senior Veterans and their survivors can receive disability pension income (sometimes called the "Aid and Attendance Benefit") for eldercare up to $2,431 a month ($1,318 a month for surviving spouses) in addition to their existing income. Literally 1 out of 4 seniors can qualify for this little known program under the right conditions.

List of State Veterans Nursing Homes
Veterans Nursing Homes are generally available to active duty veterans but some states have beds for people who served with the reserves or National Guard and the spouses of veterans. The majority of these homes offer nursing care but some may offer assisted living or domiciliary care. Generally there is no income or asset test. Most veterans in most states would qualify. Many states have waiting lists of weeks to months for available beds. Each facility has different eligibility rules and there is an application process. You cannot simply walk in the door and arrange for nursing care on the spot. You must contact the veterans home you are interested in to find out the availability of beds and the application process. There are other veteran benefits which make money available that may be a better solution to your care needs.
