Abstract
Definitions of nursing home care and alternatives for covering nursing home costs are covered in this guide.
Nursing home costs now average $22,000 or more annually nationwide. A recent Massachusetts research study found that almost half of the single 75-year-olds interviewed would be poor within three months after entering a nursing home. Almost three-quarters would have nothing left within a year.
