Veterans Program
The Aid and Attendance Program
We value your service the same way you value your independence. That’s why you or your loved one may also qualify for a special benefit called Aid and Attendance. The Veterans Administration offers a program for qualified vets and their spouses who require assistance for some daily activities.
Solstice proudly partners with Patriot Angels to help simplify the VA benefits application process for veterans. Patriot Angels assists veterans by sifting through the government procedures associated with Aid and Attendance, enabling you to collect the benefits that you’re entitled to.
