November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month, a good reminder that planning ahead means more than having a retirement account. It also means thinking about how you and your loved ones would be protected if extended care ever became a reality.
The numbers are worth knowing. Seven in 10 Americans turning 65 today will need some form of long-term care. The national median cost of a private nursing home room is now over $129,500 per year; assisted living runs around $74,400 annually; and in-home care averages $80,080 per year.
That's where long-term care insurance can come in. This coverage can help with costs related to:
✅ In-home care
✅ Assisted living
✅ Nursing home care
✅ Adult day care
✅ Memory care
Long-term care can be costly if you don't plan ahead. So, if you have questions or want to explore your options, don't hesitate to reach out to our team. We are happy to have that conversation with you.
