Understanding Long-Term Care Options

There are various long-term care options available, including in-home care, independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care. Each option comes with its own set of costs, and it’s essential to assess which type of care aligns best with your needs.

Financial Planning for Long-Term Care

Planning ahead financially for long-term care is crucial. Many individuals do not have long-term care insurance, making them reliant on personal savings or government assistance like Medicaid. Our Williamsburg estate planning attorneys can assist you in exploring financial strategies to ensure you are prepared for potential long-term care expenses.
