While none of us wants to imagine a future where we must rely on a nursing home due to our inability to care for ourselves, the reality is that many will face this need as they age. A 2024 report reveals that 70% of individuals aged 65 and older will require some form of long-term care before passing. Unfortunately, the cost of nursing home care is steadily increasing. In Massachusetts, for example, a semi-private room currently costs around $14,009 per month, while a private room can run $15,038 per month. Given the high costs and the likelihood that long-term care may be needed, working with an experienced nursing home planning attorney can help you navigate your options and make informed decisions for the future.
