In 2014, the price of long-term care is apparently dropping, at least if you are a 55 year old male according to a recent report, explained by ElderLawAnswers.com. Elder planning is very important, as costs of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, CCRC's and home health care continue to rise at a higher rate than inflation.
Prices of long-term care insurance will vary from state to state and depend upon many factors, including age, health, etc.
There are also other alternatives to traditional long-term care insurance, such as Life Insurance with Accelerated Death Benefits (also known as long-term care riders).
Elder planning and long-term care planning are both an essential part of a good estate plan.
