If you are like many American families who have dealt with, are dealing with, or will deal with caregivers for older parents. Finding quality caregivers and fit in your budget is always a primary concern. 

You probably already know that health insurance, including Medicare and supplements, will not pay for most long-term health care services. Medicaid will pay for long-term care services, but the person must have little or no income and assets to qualify for those benefits.

Long-Term Care Insurance will pay for all levels and types of long-term care, but you must already own the policy when you need care - it cannot be purchased 'when' you need care.

Most People Want to Stay at Home

In-home care is always preferable, but quality assisted living facilities are available. The problem is long-term health care is costly, and these costs are growing dramatically due to increasing demand for care and higher labor costs.

You can see the current and future cost of long-term care services where you live by using the LTC NEWS Cost of Care Calculator - Cost of Care Calculator - Choose Your State | LTC News.
