One of the primary goals of elder law is to help seniors find ways to pay for expensive long-term care. We don’t want to alarm you, but consider the following statistics:
- Nearly three out of every four people over the age of 65 will require long-term care at some point in their lives.
- The median cost of nursing home care in South Dakota for a private room was an average of $100,000 a year for our area. In certain situations, nursing home care costs considerably more, and costs are expected to rise dramatically in the future.
- Many families exhaust their life savings within a year or two of a family member entering a nursing home.
- Statistics don't matter when something happens to you or your loved one. Contact our Sioux Falls elder law and Medicaid planning attorneys today to visit.
