If you don't already know, the cost of long-term care in the U.S. is sky-high, and it's going up faster than inflation.

In 2019, a year in an assisted living facility (29) _______ $48,612 on average nationwide, but in Washington, D.C., (30) _______, just a year of assisted living ran $135,456. Staying at home isn't necessarily cheaper, either. Hiring an hourly home health aide (based on 44 hours per week) averaged $52,624 a year in 2019, Genworth reported.
