Our community calls the friendly town of Shiloh, IL, home, right near Scott Air Force Base and its over 13,000 people. That closeness creates a natural spot for military retirees who want familiar surroundings and strong ties.

Crafts
Exercise classes
Social events

Does the VA Pay for Assisted Living for Veterans?

Folks often wonder if the VA steps in to help cover costs for assisted living, and the answer is yes! The VA Aid and Attendance program adds extra monthly payments to a veteran's pension if they need help with daily tasks like bathing or dressing. These funds go toward personal care services in a VA care community, though they don't directly pay for room and board.

To qualify, a veteran needs wartime service, plus proof they require assistance or are housebound. Income and assets make a difference as well, with the net worth limit at $159,240 for 2025.

Did you know the maximum monthly amount can reach up to $2,300 for a single veteran, or more if there's a spouse? That adds up to real support, making veteran support programs like this a game-changer for covering care needs.

At our Shiloh community, we team up with groups like Patriot Angels to guide you through applications, so you can tap into these benefits without the hassle. We focus on the care side, helping with things like medication management to keep days smooth and independent.

Where Do Most Retired Veterans Live?

Retired veterans pick spots across the U.S. that offer affordability, strong VA access, and a sense of camaraderie. By percentage, Alaska leads with over 10% of its adult population as veterans, followed by states like Virginia and Wyoming, according to Axios.

These places draw folks for:

The outdoors
Tax benefits
Military communities

On the city side, Boise in Idaho and Colorado Springs in Colorado are great for low costs and nearby bases that foster that familiar feel. Areas near bases thrive because they build on shared experiences.

Take our senior lifestyle in Shiloh, IL, for example. Our community sits close to Scott Air Force Base, home to over 13,000 personnel, including active duty and civilians. That proximity creates a military-friendly senior care environment where bonds form easily.

How Can Veteran Support Programs Help You Age With Honor?

In our Shiloh community, veteran support programs come alive by mixing that familiar military structure with everyday comforts that make you feel right at home. We start with personalized care plans built around what you need, like gentle help with daily tasks or memory care that keeps your mind engaged and sharp.

You'll jump into veteran-tailored options that build on teamwork, from morning exercise classes that echo old drills to art workshops where you can swap service stories with buddies.

Did you know our chef whips up homestyle meals with fresh ingredients every day, served restaurant-style in a cozy dining spot? Favorites like hearty stews or grilled classics hit the spot, and you can even grab a bite in your apartment.

Outside, stunning gardens and pathways invite you to relax in the fresh air, maybe with your pet by your side since we're all about furry friends here.
