With the average cost for a nursing home reaching $188.00 per day, there is a better way to spend our savings, when we get old and feeble.
Wow, $188/day is really a lowball estimate and probably includes state-assisted facilities (shudder). Like I said, my grandmother was in an assisted private living center, and it was something over $500/day--and that was 10 years ago. I suspect it's far, far over that now...and that wasn't even the most expensive option then! Two years at a $500/day facility is close to $600,000.
