Among our many residents, MorningStar
of Sparks is proud to counts 58 veterans as part of our
community. In fact, honoring our local
vets during last year’s Veterans Day ceremony was quite an affair as
every veteran received a token of thanks in the form of a certificate and a patriotic
Christmas ornament. Throughout all of
MorningStar’s communities, we are privileged to have veterans from all five
branches of military service call us home.
Whenever we hear that veterans or
families of vets are interested in our community, we are pleased to direct them
to local resources that can help to ease and quicken the application process
for “Aid & Attendance”. This is a monthly benefit payment allocated by the
U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs to certain wartime veterans and their
survivors who qualify for financial need and have a doctor’s order for regular
assistance with daily living activities.
Additional qualifications for the vets
include having served at least 90 days of active duty, of which at least one
day was spent serving during a period of a foreign war. Also, the vet must not have been dishonorably
discharged. The Aid & Attendance
benefit does not require the vet to have served overseas, seen combat or
retired from the military. For surviving
spouses to be eligible for the benefit, they must have been married to the vet
at the time of their death and never remarried.
We encourage you to contact
us
to learn more about applying for the benefit.
