How Does Your State Rank Regarding Long Term Care?

Posted July 25, 2014

A: A new study from AARP indicates long term care varies dramatically in cost and quality depending on where a person lives in the United State. You can find the ‘scorecard’ that ranks all the states based on 26 different variables here: http://www.longtermscorecard.org/ Unfortunately, Florida ranks in the bottom 25% based on the study’s criteria.

All the more reason to have a Board Certified Elder Lawyer advise you about your options. You can listen to a recent NPR story about the study here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/06/19/323356217/how-your-state-rates-in-terms-of-long-term-care.
