Veterans Services Officer Referral Partner Program
Veterans navigating senior care decisions have unique benefit entitlements — Aid & Attendance, VA Community Care, and more. A placement specialist who understands these benefits serves veterans better.
Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) and veterans benefits counselors work with older veterans and surviving spouses on a range of benefits claims — including Aid & Attendance, which helps fund assisted living and home care. When a veteran needs actual care placement guidance beyond what the VSO’s benefits role covers, a placement specialist who understands VA benefits and knows which Texas facilities work with veterans and their families is an invaluable referral resource.
Why Partner With Erika
Benefits-Integrated Placement
I understand how Aid & Attendance, VA Community Care, and other veteran benefits interact with care placement decisions — helping veterans use their earned benefits effectively.
Veteran-Friendly Facility Knowledge
I know which Texas communities have experience with veterans and surviving spouses, which accept Aid & Attendance, and which have strong relationships with the VA system.
Referral Partnership
You help veterans access their benefits; I help them use those benefits to fund the right care. A referral relationship that serves both dimensions gives veterans a complete advisory team.
How It Works
Veteran or surviving spouse needs placement
A veteran client is pursuing Aid & Attendance to fund care and needs guidance on what Texas care options that benefit can realistically cover.
You refer to me for care planning
Once the benefits picture is clear, you refer the veteran to me for care options education — what types of facilities in Texas are accessible with their benefit level and VA eligibility.
I assess and match to appropriate facilities
I conduct a detailed intake covering care needs, benefit amounts, geographic preferences, and VA affiliation. I identify Texas facilities that accept Aid & Attendance and match the veteran’s care needs.
Coordinated placement with benefit timeline
Aid & Attendance approval timelines can be long. I work with families to plan placement that accounts for the benefit pending period and coordinates with your benefits timeline.
