Please note: Research shows that about 70 percent of people age 65 or older will need long-term care services at some point in their lifetime. And while most people think of long-term care as impacting only those in senior years, 40 percent of people currently receiving long term care services are ages 18 to 64.
The Genworth 2019 Cost of Care Survey can help families evaluate options to address the increasing cost of long term care. Genworth has surveyed the cost of long term care across the U.S. to help Americans appropriately plan for the potential cost of this type of care in their preferred location and setting. The most comprehensive study of its kind, Genworth’s 2019 Cost of Care Survey, conducted by CareScout®, covers nearly 15,000 long term care providers in 440 regions nationwide.

At Covenant Living of the Great Lakes, sharing a first name is reason enough to become friends. It started when Marge Schick met a few other Marjories and threw a party. Now there are six Marges, a group of Bonnies, and eight Patricias who get together for lunch, stories, and treats.
In a community this size, many of them might never have crossed paths otherwise. Turns out a shared name is a pretty good way to find your people. 💛 bit.ly/4xYR0Oz ... See MoreSee Less
