VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (920) 965-0001 | U.S. military veterans and their spouses who are currently residing in assisted living facilities can apply for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit. It’s a monthly payment included in the VA pension that’s intended to help cover some care costs. There’s no requirement to pay the benefits back, which can be up to $1,881 per month for a single vet, $2,230 for a couple and $1,209 for a surviving spouse. VeteranAid.org provides a useful tool on its website for seniors to check if they qualify. |
Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 815-0015 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is a division of the Board on Aging & Long Term Care. The ombudsman investigates complaints made by seniors regarding their care, mediates disputes between seniors, their families and the owners of care communities and educates residents about their rights. Additionally, the ombudsman works with families looking for the ideal facilities for their loved ones. This can include providing them with data held on file about the facilities. |
Medicare Counseling – Benefits Specialists | (877) 886-2372 | Seniors in Oshkosh and Winnebago County can get counseling services regarding various benefits free of charge. The counselors provide unbiased information and advice on a range of benefits for older residents. These can include evaluating existing Medicare plans to determine if they provide seniors with the coverage they need and helping them choose the best plans to cover shortfalls. Although this may include private health care insurance, the counselors will not try to sell those plans. Additionally, they can help low-income seniors who may be eligible for the Medical Assistance Personal Care program, which can provide financial help for those in assisted living, but it won’t cover room and board costs. |
Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging (GWAAR) | (608) 243-5670 | GWAAR is a multiple-purpose resource for seniors and their families in Oshkosh. It provides assistance but can also refer seniors to other service providers, such as legal services that specialize in Elder Law. |
