Long Term Care Costs
The cost of long term care can be expensive and vary greatly depending on the type of care you receive, the place it's provided, and where you live. For example, the national average cost for a semi-private room in a nursing home is $112,4201 per year.
When considering cost, don't forget to also factor in inflation—the cost of care today may be much more in the future when you need care. If inflation continues to average 2.54%2 every year, in 20 years the annual cost of care in a nursing home will increase from $112,420 to almost $186,000.
Is this an expense that you can afford to pay today and in the future?
