The Cost of
Senior Care Your loved one is growing older. How will you pay for help?
Senior care can be expensive, and it becomes more so as an older adult’s physical or mental health deteriorates. While more long-term care insurance companies may cover this care option, it is still primarily paid for by families and seniors themselves. From individualized help around the house (homemaker services) to advanced Alzheimer’s care, in-home care can be among the most affordable options available to families. Here’s how these costs have stacked up against the costs of other care options:
