Show Notes
Home care and assisted living costs have surged nearly 50% nationwide since 2019, making it increasingly difficult for middle-income older adults to afford long-term care. In Pennsylvania, the average annual income for seniors is around $55,938, yet typical yearly costs for nursing homes, assisted living, and home health aides range from $141,985 to $73,206. This financial burden often forces families to deplete savings or rely on unpaid relatives, leading many seniors to forgo necessary care and risk their health and finances. Pennsylvania leaders must act with smart policies to address this growing crisis and help seniors afford care without financial ruin.
