 I believe that every veteran has a right to remain and age in place and be with people who surround them with love. Almost half of the veteran population is 65 and over. Nursing homes can cost over $100,000 per year out of pocket. The medical foster program costs vets less than half that. Caregivers receive, on average, $2,800 per month from each veteran living in their home. Chantel, what do you get out of this?
