There are more than 70 million baby boomers in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and by 2030, all boomers will be age 65 or older. This “gray tsunami” will, sooner or later, need assistance with daily life. And, while your clients may not want to think about getting old and needing care, presenting ways to prepare for old age is one of many responsibilities of agents and advisors.
According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the monthly cost for an assisted living facility averaged $4,300 while the average cost for a private room in a nursing home was $8,800. Long-term care insurance is one way individuals can invest in their senior years now.
