I moved my 88 y/o mother into Steeplechase, behind Walmart. I check most of he assisted living facilities and found them running from 4-6K per month. Since Steeplechase is a retirement facility they are half the price and I continue as her caregiver. They provide 3 meals, transportation to appointments, etc. Her apt is large enough and no units have stoves. The people that run the facility know every resident by name. As far as VA benefits be aware that it takes a good year to travel through all the paperwork however, payment is retroactive to the day you apply. Hope this helps a little.
