LTC Comment:

Click through for ways to save money on assisted living. But the best way to save money remains to leverage against the risk and cost of LTC by means of private insurance. That’s the biggest bang for the buck if you end up needing care and an affordable pre-planned and absorbed cost if you don’t. Buy dollars with nickels while you still can.
