Planning for nursing home care or care at home is not exciting, nor is it something any of us wants to think about or consider. However, when the care costs $10,000 or more a month for private care, it is necessary for most of us to think and to plan for something this expensive. The good news is, you can plan in advance and know what options you have available to you and often the more advanced the planning, the more options that you have. For example, long-term care insurance might be a good option, but only if you are young enough that it is not cost prohibitive. Also, there are documents that can be done to help protect your house and other assets, if you want, depending on your goals and objectives.
