Most people hopefully plan for assisted living far in advance of needing the services. Long term care insurance should always be part of any retirement plan if at all possible. The cost of assisted living can be out of reach for many people without long term care insurance. This means family will need to continue providing care for their elderly relatives rather than have them move to assisted living. In California, the average cost of 12 months assisted living for 2012 is $42,000 and the average expected annual increase is 5%.
