How Much Does Long Term Care Cost?

According to a Wall Street Journal article from 1999, the cost of one year of care in a nursing home averages $40,000. And since then, the price has only risen. In some parts of the country, one year of care for an elderly or ailing can be as much as $100,000. the reason for the high price of care and the increase that it experiences every year is simply the demand for such a service.

If a person doesn’t need round the clock attention but still needs monitoring, a visiting nurse or some other form of home care might be the best choice. However, this can also be expensive, with an hour-long visit every day costing near $1800 a month and an eight hour visit reaching $7800 a month.
