Genworth just released the results of their 2023 Cost of Care Survey and the findings show that costs for long-term care services have increased across all provider types. The survey participants reported that inflation and a shortage of skilled workers are the main drivers of this increase. The cost of home health aide and homemaker services saw the most substantial cost increases. The national annual median cost of a semi-private room in a skilled nursing facility rose to $104,000, an increase of 4.4%, while the cost of a private room in a nursing home increased 4.9% to $116,800. Despite these cost increases, the survey found that 95% of respondents, regardless of facility type, place high importance on person-centered care. Check out the Cost of Care Survey tool, an interactive web-based tool to help calculate the median cost of long-term care services in your area. #ltcbenefitsasanemployeebenefit #longtermcareplanning #longtermcareinsurance #homecareexpenses #carecenterexpenses

In fact, 77% of nursing homes use this trick.
