It is entirely possible that you or a loved one will need to enter an assisted living facility, nursing home, or some similar type of housing. This type of care is extremely expensive, and requires informed planning to ensure that you can handle the financial burden. In the Essentials of Long-Term Care course, we cover how to plan for long-term care, the housing options available, how to pay for it, and several associated legal issues.
