Family Feud – What Happens Without A Long-Term Care Plan in Place

More American families are faced with the consequences of long-term care.

According to an Associated Press poll, the majority of adults age 40 and over believe they will need extended care at some point in their lifetime. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states you have a 70 percent chance of needing some type of care service if you reach age 65. While that doesn’t mean 70 percent will need formal or informal care, it does mean there is a big risk.

Despite an awareness of the issue, a majority of Americans fail to do any advance plan to address the problem, and many families fall into a crisis.

“Usually when no advance plan is in place one of the adult children takes over. Siblings may disagree with how money is spent and the type of care that will be provided for the parent. These disagreements can sometimes split families. It tears some families apart and the focus is no longer on the best quality care for mom or dad,” said Matt McCann, a nationally known Long-Term Care Insurance specialist.
