For seniors seeking supportive help at home, the line is more like good help is hard to afford. Here are a couple of ways seniors may be able to enhance their cash flow.

Aid and Attendance is a cash benefit programs for veterans needing extra care at home or in an assisted living facility. Even spouses of veterans may be eligible. Not surprisingly, there are forms to complete, but don’t despair. The folks at local Veteran Affairs offices are more than happy to help those who have served our county make sure all the i’s are dotted and all the t’s are crossed correctly.

Another option for ready cash may be a Reverse Mortgage. Don’t discount it without some serious fact finding. I can point you toward folks that can help. Many seniors have discovered that a Reverse Mortgage is not something to be feared, doesn’t threaten home ownership, and can cover services that will make life far more satisfying.

I’ve observed older adults to be mostly practical and prudent. Besides, it is just plain smart to tap into well-earned resources to cover the cost of help at home or for assisted living. If you haven’t investigated these veteran’s benefits or gotten the facts about reverse mortgages, don’t wait. It can’t hurt to inquire. Life is too short to put off something that could make such a big difference today.

Resourcefully,
Connie
