| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (844) 850-2883 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is an advocate for seniors residing in Idaho’s care communities. The ombudsman can investigate complaints made by seniors, their families and others, in addition to ensuring residents are aware of their rights. Ombudsmen also make unannounced visits at least once per quarter to assisted living facilities to speak to residents and conduct basic inspections. |
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefit | (208) 426-3754 | The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly payment made to qualifying U.S. military veterans and their spouses to help cover some assisted living costs. Payments are included in the VA pension and vary depending on a range of criteria. As an example, two vets married to each other who both qualify can see their annual MAPR payments rise from $18,243 to $36,861. VeteranAid.org provides a useful tool on its website for vets to see if they qualify. |

The counselors can help seniors identify their coverage needs and apply for the best Medicare plans for them.
