Monthly Maintenance Fee / Re-assessment
Upon admission to the State Veterans Home, Veterans are informed of their obligation to pay a portion of the cost for their care at the home a “maintenance fee”.
The portion of the Cost of Care that is the resident’s monthly payment obligation. This is based upon what the resident can afford to pay out of pocket.
The initial calculation is performed at the time of admission and then re-calculated annually there after. A veterans maintenance fee can go up or down depending upon their individual financial situation, and each veteran is notified of this upon admission and they are required to sign an acknowledgment to this fact.
Estate BillingThe difference between the Cost of Care and the monthly payments which are accumulated over the entire time of the resident’s stay at the State Veterans’ Home.
