About American Veterans Aid

American Veterans Aid (AVA) helps veterans, spouses and surviving spouses get the financial assistance they need to pay for long-term care. We specialize in VA Aid & Attendance claims.

Aid & Attendance is a lifetime pension for qualified veterans and spouses who need personal care. The benefit helps cover the cost of home care, board and care, adult day care, assisted living and skilled nursing facility care.

AVA was founded by a war-era veteran after discovering that very few people knew about this important benefit. and how difficult it was for veterans and their families to get VA benefit claims approved.

Since our launch in 2010, we have expanded to over 25 highly skilled staff, including one of the top VA Accredited Claims Agents in the country.

AVA has a stellar record of success helping more veterans and spouses apply for and receive the Aid & Attendance benefit than any other company in the U.S.

American Veterans Aid is a privately owned company and is not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs or any government organization or agency.
