CVN Health - The average cost of nursing home care in the US is currently about $56,000 per year. While the cost of health care varies with location and service level, in some sections of the country it can be as high as $100,000 per year. The average length of a stay in a long-term care facility is 3.1 years, so this represents an average cost of between $170,000 and $310,000.
In fact it is usually worse than that, because a nursing home stay is preceeded by home health care services for a considerable period of time. So your resources will have been severely depleted even before dedicated long term care is required.
The cost of long term health care continues to rise more rapidly than ever. That makes it even more important to for people to think about long term health care. Long term health care insurance is a high demand service when you realize the facts, and that makes this one of the best insurance jobs currently available.
