While some health care services may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term care insurance, rent in an independent living community is not. This is because independent senior living communities aren’t care facilities, though some may offer access to third-party care services on-site.
Most New York seniors sell their house and use a variety of other private sources to pay for an independent living community

VA benefits for independent living in New York City, New York
A senior veteran living in New York City may be eligible for pension and disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (or VA) to pay their costs of independent living. Veterans over 65 can receive supplemental income through the pension program through the VA if they meet service and financial requirements. If a veteran is disabled and is enrolled in VA health care, they may qualify for additional income benefits through the Aid and Attendance benefit or the Housebound# allowance. Note that these two allowances cannot be received simultaneously.
While the Aid and Attendance benefit can be used for anything that improves the disabled veteran’s quality of life, the Housebound allowance is meant to be used to cover the costs of in-home care for a housebound veteran with a permanent disability. Also, Aid and Attendance tends to pay out more, as it’s for a disability related to wartime service, whereas the Housebound is for disabilities related to the natural aging process.
Keep in mind that even if you’re rightly eligible for these benefits, the approval process can be difficult. It’s important to reach out to local benefit advisors and advocates to ensure the application process is completed properly so you get your due benefits.

DVS staff advocate for and assist New York City veterans in applying for pensions and accessing their eligible benefits. DVS even has a specific senior veteran division to ensure senior veterans are accessing all their eligible benefits. Speak to a DVS intake specialist through email at connect@veterans.nyc.gov or by phone at 212-416-5250. You can also find help accessing services and benefits by filling out an online form with VetConnectNYC, another DVS service.
Many veterans can also find strong benefit advocacy services through their local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) chapters or their local Disabled American Veterans (DAV) chapter.
