“Many baby boomers willing to receive long-term care outside the home, LeadingAge poll finds,” by Marty Stempniak, McKnight’s LTC News

“Baby boomers may be more willing to receive long-term care outside the home than was commonly believed, according to a LeadingAge poll released Monday. Up to 40% of respondents would want to live somewhere other than their current home or apartment if they had a physical disability that required them to need help with daily activities, the survey found. About 14% of the respondents indicated they would move to a place that is staffed to provide healthcare should the need for assistance arise. That number swelled to 42% if help was required due to dementia. … Affordability was seen as the biggest challenge to purchasing care among all respondents, according to the survey, which was conducted in January.”

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

If you want to get what you want, you’d better want to get LTCI.
