Benefits screening
Benefits are easy to miss. Mildred helps you know where to look.
Families get a free VA Pension / Aid and Attendance estimate and see their ALTCS status. Placement advisors on Mildred run full VA and ALTCS screening for the families they help.
Long-term care is expensive, and families often make major care decisions without realizing that ALTCS or VA Pension with Aid & Attendance may be available to help.
Mildred puts both in front of you early.
A Mildred estimate is an early look, not a final eligibility determination.
Why screen early
One profile. Another set of possibilities.
You are already telling Mildred about the things that matter when looking for care. That information also feeds your free VA Pension / Aid and Attendance estimate.
Your care profile
- Care needs
- Income
- Assets
- Insurance
- Veteran service history
- Marital status
- Living situation
Screening result

The value of screening
Sometimes knowing what to ask changes the options.
A family may begin its search thinking: “What can we afford?”
Then someone identifies a benefit that may help pay for care. That can change the conversation to: “What care is actually available to us?”
That is why Mildred shows you early.
Without screening
Known resources
Limited perceived options
With your estimate
Known resources
+ possible benefits
More care options to look at
Not every estimate or screening result will lead to an approved benefit. But these opportunities can be important enough that they should not be discovered months later by accident.
