The average cost of a private, single room in an assisted living facility is $4,500 per month? How will you or a loved one pay for assisted living? With 7 out of 10 people requiring assisted living care in their lifetime, it’s an important topic to understand. Medicare won’t cover the cost of a long-term stay. What happens when one-half of a married couple needs care, and the other spouse doesn’t want to give up all their money to the facility? Listen today as Jill Carr speaks with Amir Abu-Aita, an estate planning and elder law attorney as they discuss all things long-term care and how you can take steps to plan for the worst.
