Veterans Program
We want to show our gratitude to all of those who served our country. To show our appreciation and commitment to our veterans, Emerald City is honored to offer senior veterans a 5% discount on the monthly rental fee for the life of their lease*.
The Aid and Attendance Program
You or your loved one may also qualify for a special benefit called Aid and Attendance. The Veterans Administration offers a program for qualified vets and their spouses if they require the aid of another person in order to perform personal functions required in everyday living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, attending to the wants of nature, adjusting prosthetic devices or protection from the hazards of their daily environment.

Must have served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during a period of war.
Must have anything other than a Dishonorable discharge.
A surviving spouse must have been married to the veteran at the time of his passing.
Must require the assistance of another person to perform some of the daily activities of living.

Must be 65 years or older or totally disabled.
