Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers Founder Mindy Felinton Shares Stats On Long-Term Care

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Nov. 7, 2019 - PRLog -- Elder Care Attorney, Mindy Felinton tells readers that it is far better to hope for the best while planning for the worst when it comes to long-term care needs, suggesting that if the finances are there and are not needed they can be dispersed among heirs.

Delray Beach, FL  November 7, 2019: Mindy Felinton, founder of Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers, has posted a new article on her law firm's website entitled "Statistics Prove The Need To Plan For Long-Term Care." Ms. Felinton encourages readers to take the statistics she offers to heart.

Felinton says, "According to recent government statistics, "Someone turning age 65 today has almost a 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services and support in their remaining years." She adds, "The fact is that as many as one-third of today's 65-year-olds may never need long-term care support, but 20 percent will need it for longer than 5 years. And, due to the fact that women typically outlive men, they will need care longer than men."

According to Felinton, "When a prospective client comes to me to consider establishing an estate and asset protection plan, I always include long-term health care planning in the equation. Most people tell me they do not want to be a burden on their children as they age." She goes on to add, "However, a majority of people fail to plan appropriately for their prospective long-term health care needs."
