Peabody Retirement Community to Host Free Workshop On V.A. Aid

July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.

By Staff Report-

NORTH MANCHESTER – According to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, about a quarter of the nation's population – approximately 70 million people – are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members or survivors of veterans. 

The VA Aid and Attendance Pension benefit, one of the many benefits available through the VA, offers eligible veterans or their surviving spouses a significant monthly pension, ranging from $1,056 to $1,949 per month tax-free.

To be eligible, veterans must have served 90 consecutive days or more with at least one day during a wartime period (World War II, Korea, etc) and meet a few medical and financial eligibility criteria. 

As part of an on-going commitment to making eldercare more affordable, Peabody is working to educate the local community about the availability of aid and attendance benefits.  During our workshop, we will be reviewing the eligibility criteria and show how thousands of families, even in cases of higher net worth, have become eligible for this benefit helping to offset the cost of the care being provided.

Peabody Retirement Community is hosting this educational workshop about VA benefits on Nov. 10, at 6:30 p.m.  The event will take place at our community in the chapel, which is located at 400 W. 7th Street, North Manchester, IN 46962  The workshop is free and open to the public. 

Call 260-982-8616 ext. 1128 to register – and if you know someone else who could benefit from this information, please bring him or her along.  If you are unable to attend the workshop, visit www.veteransfinancial.com for more information about the benefit.

“The Peabody approach to retirement living isn’t just different,” says Sue Roesner, Director of Marketing.” It’s all about making a difference in the lives of the entire extended family. Every day residents and their family members enjoy a peace of mind and a security knowing that Peabody’s continuum of health care services is available if ever needed.

Peabody’s staff enjoys the knowledge that they are empowered to make an extraordinary impression on each resident, family member and co-worker each and every day.”[[In-content Ad]]
