Bel Air Assisted Living of Harford County, Maryland

The Aid and Attendance (A&A) Pension provides benefits for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing and undressing or taking care of the needs of nature. It also includes individuals who are blind or a patient in a nursing home because of mental or physical incapacity. Assisted care in an assisting living facility also qualifies.

To qualify for A&A it needs to be established by your physician that you require daily assistance by others to dress, undress, bathing, cooking, eating, taking on or off of prosthetics, leave home etc. You DO NOT have to require assistance with all of these. There simply needs to be adequate medical evidence that you cannot function completely on your own.

Sometimes, the best help is found close to home. That’s certainly the case when it comes to assisted living in Maryland.

Today, we’re proud to present 4 truly excellent Maryland state resources for elderly persons considering assisted living, alzheimer’s & dementia care, independent living, and respite stay.
