“75 Must-Know Statistics About Long-Term Care: 2018 Edition,” by Christine Benz, Morningstar 

“If there’s a single unsolved problem in the retirement plans for many middle- and upper-middle-income adults, it’s what to do about long-term care costs later in life. … If you’re among the people who are still on the fence about what to do, the best way to make smart decisions is to go into the process armed with the facts. How likely are you to need long-term care and for how long? What does long-term care cost, and what does it cost to insure against it? In the latest installment of my now-annual compendium of long-term care statistics, I’ve pulled together current data to help you answer these questions and more. Each statistic includes a link through to the original source of the information; I’ve aimed to use statistics provided by objective parties, wherever possible.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Objective sources? Kaiser Family Foundation? AARP? Not so much, but the data are worth a look nonetheless.
