When I was in my 50s, I thought long-term care was something I’d worry about “someday.” I imagined it would come up in my 80s — or maybe not at all.
But the truth? Care needs can arise much earlier — and if you wait, your choices shrink and costs rise.

Here are 6 things I wish I had known sooner:

✅ Long-term care isn’t just for the elderly — it can start in your 60s or after an unexpected event
✅ It’s more than just nursing homes — think in-home care, assisted living, adult day programs, and memory care
✅ Medicare doesn’t cover most long-term care
✅ Costs add up quickly — over $100,000 a year in some cases
✅ You have more control when you plan early
✅ The best time to start is now — not later

Whether you’re planning for yourself or caring for aging parents, your 50s are the perfect time to get ahead of it.

Dementia is more than a diagnosis—it’s a life-changing journey for millions of families.

- 6.9 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s today. By 2050, that number may nearly double.

- 83% of dementia care is provided at home by family members. That’s 27+ hours a week—often with no pay or support.

- Dementia care in the U.S. costs over $360 billion a year. Families face financial stress on top of emotional strain.

- Women are twice as likely to be affected—as patients and as caregivers. Let’s support them better!

- Too many are diagnosed late, missing chances for early planning and better outcomes. Know the signs. Start the conversation.

These numbers tell a story of love, sacrifice, and a growing need for support.

Whether you’re just starting to notice the signs or deep into the care-giving journey, planning ahead matters—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you're thinking about your own future or helping a loved one plan theirs, now is the time to start.
