We Help Vet to Get the Benefits They Deserve


At the MorningStar of Littleton senior living community, we have veterans from various branches of the military and are honored to serve them. As one of our team members eloquently said, “Seniors speak powerfully to the fact that freedom comes at a cost. It requires that you choose to do the right thing which almost always includes sacrifice. Whether it’s time, money or comfort, those who came before us chose to sacrifice to build a better society.”

When we meet a potential resident who is a veteran or a surviving spouse of a vet, and in need of assisted living; we are pleased to direct them to the company, ElderLife Financial. They have the expertise to ease and quicken the application process for “Aid & Attendance,” which is a benefit offered through the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Aid & Attendance benefits are a tax-free pension paid directly to a qualified veteran or their spouse in the form of monthly payments, which is subject to change annually.

The National Care Planning Council estimates up to 25% of seniors could potentially apply for Aid & Attendance. These benefits can be used toward care in an assisted living community such as MorningStar of Littleton. Check out our website as we have a whole page explaining the benefit, a quick 5-minute test to see if you qualify, and contact numbers for more answers and information.

If you think you would love to hear more about our vibrant community, please contact us. We would love to set up a tour and meet with you to discuss availability, amenities and wellness programs and activities. Our distinct Reflections Neighborhood offers 20 all-inclusive suites for the trusted Alzheimers care. 

This August, MorningStar Senior Living celebrated 21 years of dedicated service. Our communities are spread across the Western US, and through the years we have served 15,500 residents and have a team 3,000 strong. Our brand’s hallmark is built on a mission statement: to honor God, value all seniors, and invest generously. We believe in casting a new light on senior care and stand on God’s principles for how we are to live and serve each other. We look forward to hearing from you.

The Benefits of Assisted Living

Image
Studies show that for many older adults in need of a little daily assistance, life is easier in assisted living.  The reason so many of them say they prefer assisted living to living on their own, is it actuals helps them to feel more – not less – independent.  In fact, senior living communities such as MorningStar of Littleton are designed to provide seniors a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community.   When you live in your own home, you have the constant worry of upkeep and unexpected repairs, or you may be a person who no longer feels comfortable driving and have given it up altogether.  This makes running errands, grocery shopping and getting to doctors’ appointments difficult. Moving into assisted living means you no longer have to spend time worrying about maintaining a home, and communities such as MorningStar offer scheduled transportation.  Meal prep is another thing that is often difficult for the elderly, and as a result, many older ...
