Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center. And Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC), along with the LIFE program, can cover care services — though not room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment.
