Longevity and the advances in medical science have increased the amount of people who require help is everyday living activities or the supervision needed for those who are suffering from cognitive issues like Alzheimer’s and dementia. 

People know the costs will be mostly paid out of pocket or the care itself performed by family members unless you have an advance plan which includes Long-Term Care Insurance.

We Linger Longer

What about end-of-life care? Hospice care and palliative care are two beneficial options that people have for end-of-life care. While there are some Medicare benefits for hospice, they can be limited.
