Veterans suffering from memory loss or cognitive decline may be eligible for specialized VA benefits that assist with memory care and related services.
For veterans experiencing memory loss, whether due to aging, dementia, or a fall, the VA offers programs designed to help manage care and improve quality of life. Veterans may be eligible for services such as in-home care, adult day care, and memory care facilities, which can provide assistance with everyday activities like bathing, eating, and medication management. Programs such as the VA’s Aid & Attendance benefit can be used to offset the cost of personal care services that veterans may need as their cognitive health declines. Additionally, veterans may qualify for medical equipment and therapies aimed at improving daily functioning and safety. It’s important for veterans and their families to work with VA representatives to determine eligibility and maximize the benefits available.
