With Veterans Day around the corner, we're sharing information that could change everything for families struggling to pay for dementia care.
In this week's episode, guest Suzette Graham, CEO of Patriot Angels, reveals a little-known VA benefit that millions of veterans and widows qualify for—but most have never heard of. We're talking thousands of dollars monthly to help cover memory care, assisted living, or home health costs.
From heartbreaking stories of sacrifice to surprising eligibility requirements, this conversation uncovers why so few veterans are accessing the support they've earned.
If you're caring for a veteran or military spouse with dementia, this is a must-listen.
