Choosing Long-Term Care Insurance
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006A little over sixty percent of the folks who reach 65 years of age will need some long-term care. The average nursing home stay ranges from 2-5 years and costs on average of $135.00 per day currently in the United States. These averages and costs are going up little by little each year? Can you afford to be without long term-care insurance? You know there are over 35 million Americans over 65 in the US and that number is rising also, this is due to people living longer and the general trend in demographics as less people are being born. It is the same general argument over social security, which will be fine depending on which year you were born, but for the rest of us? Well, it isn t very pretty. Some in the media have begun to call Social Security a ponzi scheme, which actually if my math is right is not so far from truth.
Most long-term care insurance policies include things such as:
Nursing Home Care
In-Home Assistance with Daily Activities
Adult Daycare and Other Community (more...)
