The websites suggested for this week are basically eye openers. No one can deny that there is a significant cost attached to growing old and so long term care must be planned early. The two website give necessary data, facts and figures which give us exact details of the cost estimate. I am simply stupefied by the huge cost which is a burden for the senior citizens in the country. The Genworth website gives an idea of the figures of the cost and maintenance that goes behind the long term care. The cost of medicines, personal caregivers, hospital necessities are gradually on the rise.
