Submitted by The Participant Effect on August 4th, 2020

There may come a time when tasks like putting on your pants and brushing your teeth are difficult without assistance.

Submitted by The Participant Effect on April 30th, 2020

Americans turning 65 now have about a 70% chance of needing long-term care in the future. You might assume that Medicare will pay for all your long-term care needs, but you’d be wrong. Medicare does provide some benefits, but only under very specific conditions.
