If you’ve been navigating healthcare for a loved one who is eligible for Veterans’ benefits, you know how complex it can be. Finding the best care, from the right providers, at a convenient location—there’s so much that goes into finding the best fit.
At Crimson Village in Tuscaloosa, we’re proud of the care we provide to all the residents who live in our assisted living facility. But we’re particularly proud of the fact that we’re able to provide that same quality care to our country’s military Veterans. And because many Veterans are eligible for the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefits, the out-of-pocket expense of assisted living is significantly offset. Qualified Veterans could receive:
● Up to $2085 per month for a Veteran plus spouse
● Up to $1785 per month for a single Veteran
● Up to $1300 per month for surviving spouse
In addition, qualified Veterans can retain assets up to $100,000 and still qualify for benefits. Our onsite transition specialists can help you the best combination of benefits to help your loved one take advantage of the medical and personal support offered at Crimson Village:
A Sense of Home
At Crimson Village, individual apartments and shared social spaces offer the best of both public and private spaces. Residents can choose to take advantage of dining services to enjoy company at meals without shopping or cooking. Apartments also feature kitchenettes, so residents can help themselves with snacks or simple in-home meals occasionally. Staff members are available to help with shopping, laundry, and meal preparation.
Community Engagement
Assisted living at Crimson Village provides a full slate of social and wellness activities to maintain a regular schedule and a sense of fun. Residents are free to participate – or not – as they choose. Crimson Village offers a calendar of daily activities including holiday celebrations, bingo, penny auctions, wine and cheese events, plus a host of special guests. Local librarians deliver and return books onsite, while volunteer tech tutors offer tips and support to residents who need help staying connected to friends and family using smart devices.
Safety and Security
Knowing your loved one is checked in on daily, making sure they are getting out and attending meals, and having medical resources monitor them for changes in behavior and condition can be a great help to family members. In addition, Crimson Village offers transportation for medical appointments and shopping trips, so residents don’t have to worry about driving.
On-site Healthcare
In addition to the nursing staff that provides support as well as medication management, Crimson Village has a medical clinic on-site for minor medical issues, routine checkups, and vaccinations as needed without leaving the property.
Easy Transition to Next Level of Care
Crimson Village offers a range of care options, so it can be simple and relatively stress-free for residents to transition to memory care or skilled nursing when it’s required. Medical staff on-site can provide the necessary health evaluations for those transitions, as well.
Customized Care Plans
When your loved one moves into Crimson Village assisted living, our care team will develop a customized care plan to help residents maintain their independence and quality of life. Plans include services such as personal care, medication management, and assistance with activities of daily living. The staff at assisted living communities are trained to provide the services included in the care plan, and they work closely with the residents and their families to ensure that the plan is followed and that the residents receive the best possible care.
If you’re facing the challenging choices for a parent or loved one who may be moving to assisted living – and looking to ensure you maximize Veterans’ benefits, too – Crimson Village can help with useful information, experience guides and assessments designed to help make those decisions easier. Our transition specialists can even help you navigate the benefits available through the Veterans’ Administration.
