- The cost of long-term care keeps going up, and it's a growing problem for Americans of all ages
Eldercare costs have skyrocketed over the last three decades, leaving millions of Americans unprepared to cover expenses like nursing homes and assisted living. The financial strain is depleting family resources, forcing some families to quit jobs or use home equity to pay for care. These escalating costs are worsened by a critical shortage of caregivers due to factors such as pandemic-related exodus and immigration restrictions.
- My family and I have spent over $700,000 on long-term care for my mom and husband. I had to put life on hold.
Tamara Johnson spent over $700,000 on long-term care for her mother and husband after they required in-home support due to health issues. She quit her corporate job to care for them, facing financial strain due to a lack of long-term care insurance coverage.
