CVN Health - Of course, the cost of long term health care depends on the level of services and location. But on average cost of nursing home care in the US is currently about $56,000 per year. In some areas of the country it is as high as $100,000 per year. Since the average length of a long-term care stay in a facility is 3.1 years, this represents an average cost of between $170,000 and $310,000.

The truth is the costs can often be worse than that, because a nursing home stay usually only comes after a person has received home health care services for a fairly long time. This means that your resources will have been severely run down even before dedicated long term care is needed.

The cost of long term health care continues to rise more rapidly than ever. That makes it even more important to for people to think about long term health care. Long term health care insurance is a high demand service when you realize the facts, and that makes this one of the best insurance jobs currently available.
