This usually means monthly income such as Social Security or a pension, combined with personal savings, and often the proceeds from selling a home. Families who planned ahead sometimes have long-term care insurance that can be tapped to cover part of the monthly cost, and veterans or their surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that helps offset the cost of care for those who meet the service and need requirements.
