Long-Term Care Planning

For most elders, the prospect of long-term-care in a nursing home is unpleasant. In addition to concerns about leaving their homes and losing independence, elders are often worried that the cost of long-term-care will deplete their estates. Nursing Home care expenses in Pennsylvania are higher than average, usually ranging from $89,000 to $139,000 for a private room per year according to the Pennsylvania Health Care Association, which only serves to compound these fears.
