[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another option that we've used for my grandmother is Knollwood in NW DC. You have to be a military family, though -- specifically the person who is going there has to be a retired career military officer, or the spouse, divorcee, parent, parent-in-law, child or sibling of one. If you are lucky enough to fit that description, it's a gorgeous and amazing place with subsidized rates and fantastic care. https://armydistaff.org/Knollwood[/quote]

That looks to be officers, not enlisted.  I would be curious about their subsidy.  Either through the VA or military (I think it is the VA), there are nursing home subsidies but they are only for the military member and their spouse (one place told us to register somewhere to be eligible but we'll worry about it when we need to).

What's the definition of retired officer? My dad was an officer but only served for three years. Does that count?[/quote]

Officer vs. Enlisted.  Your dad will not qualify either as it is only for retirees and their families.  Retiree=20 years of service or more.

Forgot to say, there are VA benefits to help pay for nursing homes and VA nursing homes.  Look into those.  When many nursing homes ask about money/payment they will ask about VA.  Your dad should be a veteran and eligible for VA benefits.[/quote]

Sorry, quoted the wrong section.  There are income and asset limits on the veteran benefits. [/quote]
