Over 12% of Californians are over age 65 as of 2010. Nearly two-thirds of of these adults will need long term care at home or through adult day health care, or care in an assisted living facility or nursing home. And while most people think of long term care as impacting only those in senior years, 40 percent of people currently receiving long term care service are ages 18 to 64. Additionally with the high costs of living , longer life expectancies, and the population increasing these services will cost more in the coming decades.
The elderly age group is expected to increase of 112 percent during the period from 2010 to 2020. More than half the counties will have over a 100 percent increase in this age group. Eleven of these counties will have growth rates of over 150 percent. These counties are located throughout the central and southern areas of the State. The influence of the 60 and over age group on California is expected to emerge most strongly between 2010 to 2020.
This information is based on the 2010 Genworth Cost of Care Survey to help families evaluate options and cover the growing cost of long term care. For the seventh year Genworth Financial surveyed the cost of long term care across the U.S. to help American plan for the potential cost of this type of care in their preferred location and setting. The survey was conducted by CareScout® and covers nearly 13,000 long term care providers in 436 regions.
