“More older people in America are embracing a new relationship style called ‘living apart together’,” by Sheena Rice, Next Avenue

“Since 1990, the divorce rate among adults 50 years and older has doubled. This trend, along with longer life expectancy, has resulted in many adults forming new partnerships later in life. A new phenomenon called ‘Living Apart Together’ (LAT) — an intimate relationship without a shared residence — is gaining popularity as an alternative form of commitment among both older and younger adults.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):
“Friends with benefits” for the older set, but not likely to be much help with long-term caregiving.
