LONG-TERM CARE
We Hope You'll Never Need It, But You'll Be Happy You Have It
Over half of Americans 65 and older will need long-term care assistance with the activities of daily living at some point. Costs of long-term care can range from $3,500 per month for in-home skilled nursing, to upwards of $9,000 per month for a private room in a nursing facility. Unfortunately, many individuals who find themselves in need of extensive long-term care pay more than half of the cost out of pocket, as Medicaid and private insurance only cover a small portion.
Greater life expectancy coupled with the skyrocketing costs associated with high-level supplemental care make long-term care one of the greatest threats to your retirement income. The government can, and will, force you to utilize your CD’s, Social Security, pension checks, investments, IRA’s, and just about every other asset you own to pay for long-term care.
