About the Book
As boomers enter their 70s, more people than ever need long-term care. The cost of nursing homes, assisted living, home health care, and other care options is painfully steep, and navigating Medicare and Medicaid can be challenging. Long-Term Care comes to the rescue with reliable, practical, plain-English information on long-term care options and how to pay for them.
