NEW YORK (November 13, 2023) – USAA, the leading provider of insurance, banking, investment, and retirement solutions serving veteran families through every stage of life, and A Place for Mom (APFM), the leading trusted advisory service for senior care in North America, have announced a joint relationship to provide senior living advisory services to USAA’s 13 million members.
A Place for Mom is uniquely positioned to support the veteran community and their growing need for senior care. Their local expert advisors offer personalized guidance and recommendations on the range of senior living options available and are knowledgeable about the specific VA benefits that can help wartime veterans and their families access critical funds needed to pay for senior living. When USAA refers its members or their families to A Place for Mom, they will receive a one-time $500 gift card after they move-in to an A Place for Mom partner community.
“More than 30% of the families we help find the right senior living solution are veterans, and with our guidance, families have secured more than $8 Million annually in VA benefits,” said Larry Kutscher, CEO of A Place for Mom. “By working with USAA, we’re excited to be able to assist even more veteran families in understanding the senior living options available to them.”
According to a new nationwide study conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of APFM and USAA, 83% of those who care for an aging veteran or spouse of a veteran don’t fully understand the monetary benefits available. And, more so, three-quarters (78%) don’t find the benefits easy to access.
“At USAA, we are committed to protecting members at every stage of life,” said Brian Harris, Vice President, Transformation and New Business Ventures at USAA. “Finding senior care for an aging loved one is one of the most important, emotionally challenging decisions, and we’re thrilled to team up with A Place for Mom to provide our members the expert guidance and support they need.”
The amount one may receive through Veteran benefits varies based on benefits and eligibility. The funds from these benefits can be used to cover costs associated with assisted living costs, memory care, and more.
