With advancements in medicine, we are living longer and healthier lives with increased life expectancies. As a result, we are spending a greater portion of our lives in retirement. That means we’ll have to consider more obstacles and have a plan anticipating a longer retirement. The biggest obstacle in most retirees’ plans is long-term care.
A thorough plan takes the long-term into account, whether that means an errant hospital visit, a move to a retirement community, or an extended day at a specialized care facility. If you find yourself needing one, the other, or a different option, you’ll want the full strength of your resources behind you to keep you steady during your recovery.
In the Greater Cleveland area, the average cost of a private room in a nursing home is upwards of ninety thousand dollars a year. That cost is forever increasing and will likely deplete your assets faster than you expect if you haven’t thought ahead. Planning for specialized healthcare needs now sets you up for a more stable future – one where your only concern is getting healthy.
