Honored to Serve Our Heroes
Our veterans deserve the very best senior care, and we are proud that so many heroes and their spouses call Sunrise home. We invite you to learn more about our resident veterans and explore how the Department of Veterans Affairs benefit can help seniors.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has benefits available to senior veterans. War veterans and their spouses may be eligible to receive nearly $2,700 per month to help defray the cost of assisted living or other non-reimbursed medical care through the Aid and Attendance program.
