By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

A son or daughter if providing should have a Care agreement drawn up, and the care should be supervised by a nurse or doctor, at least by minimum: phone every several months
Sad to say most 'lawmakers' don't understand the mechanics of the pension, so going to them right away is often not a good choice.
There is more than the 'application' itself, and a thorough doctors statement is imperative, if you are missing a form, it will take 6 months just to exchange info with the VA towards resolving that.
The spouse cannot provide paid care (as all income and assets of the couple are regarded as the veterans, meaning the cost of care could not be paid to the spouse to count as a deductible medical expense) The house while technically is non countable; quickly does become an 'asset' if sold, while the veteran lives and without proper planning could result in a payback or disqualification.
While at it considerations towards the Medicaid 5-year look back &Medicaid Exempt Funeral Trust planning must (should) be reckoned ,& ideally several years before!. I'm in GA, and if close by may have MORE IN PERSON SUGGESTIONS.
To apply for the program, elders apply through Medicaid. They are assessed the same way they would be for traditional agency-provided services. If they choose the Cash and Counseling option, they work with the program's staff to develop an individual budget and care plan.
To learn more about the Cash and Counseling program, visit the website at www.cashandcounseling.org.
I used Elder Resource Benefits Consulting , its free and they get it done with a return in 3 months. I didnt find them until I had already waited 17 months. Its all done over the phone and email so doesnt really matter where you live I would think. Good Luck, they will tell you how to do it and if you can.

is because our local VA rep did not know about VA Aid and Attendance. That is correct he did not know. The State Va Reps are not Federal Va Reps and they are not trained as well. Trust me I know.
If his income does not go to zero at end of month, but it would if he paid for help, then have him pay you and the VA will pay. It is called VA aid and Attendance and they will pay some for his wife, if she needs help. The only site to go to is
http://www.veteranaid.org/
I and many people have successfully followed the instruction, filled out forms and the veteran is now receiving VA Aid and attendance. There are many scammers out there that will say they know how to do it but they do not.
