# Vermont VA Aid & Attendance

Last updated 2026-10-20

Vermont operates one State Veterans Home, located in Bennington, and it plays a meaningful role in the state's long-term-care landscape for veterans. The Vermont Office of Veterans Affairs describes it as a state-operated, 177-bed nursing home serving veterans, veterans' spouses, and Gold Star parents. It provides skilled nursing care and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance as payment sources — though anyone without one of those coverage types is responsible for paying for their own care directly.

The Home's own materials describe its residential and health-care campus in Bennington, confirming the same population it serves: veterans, spouses, and Gold Star parents. Because admission decisions, clinical placement, bed availability, and which payment sources will actually be approved can vary case by case, families should confirm these details directly with the Home itself rather than assuming eligibility based on veteran status alone. This is separate from — but can be combined with — federal VA Aid and Attendance benefits and any local property-tax relief available to Vermont veterans.
