Quick Tip Tuesday 💡

A private nursing-home room now costs a median $166,992 per year in the Northeast.

Put a plan in place before a health crisis—think advance directives (Power of Attorney, Living Will & Health Care Proxy), long-term-care insurance or an Irrevocable Trust—to keep those dollars 💲 in your family, not the facility.
