Most older adults don’t want to move. When daily activities become harder due to frailty, chronic illness, or the loss of a spouse, surveys consistently show one clear preference: staying at home as long as possible.

That choice depends on help. Family and friends often step in, but paid home care is increasingly essential—and increasingly hard to find.

The long-term care system is under strain as caregiver shortages collide with rapidly growing demand from an aging population.

Here’s where planning matters. Those with Long-Term Care Insurance https://www.ltcnews.com/long-term-care-insurance often have better access to quality caregivers and reputable long-term care facilities, giving families more choice and less stress when care is needed.
