Such VA benefits can provide financial support to help pay for long-term-care needs, including in-home care, to avoid the necessity of assisted living or skilled nursing care, and the associated cost of assisted living facilities and skilled nursing homes. These benefits are often misunderstood and are greatly underutilized because most veterans are unaware of the veterans' pension benefits aid & attendance, and the VA does not promote the availability of the benefits to eligible veterans, even though they have been available in some form since the Spanish-America War.
