Most of us know a close family member or friend who has spent time in a nursing home. The fact is that at age 65, the average American faces at least a 40% risk of spending some time in a nursing home.* Unfortunately, Medicare pays only a small percentage of the nation’s nursing home care expenses.*
Early planning can alleviate some of the emotional, financial and physical stress that can accompany a difficult situation such as this. Avoiding the subject, doesn’t make it go away. At least 70% of people over 65 will need long term care services and support according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
