In the United States, over half of surveyed adults had cut back on spending on food, clothing, or other basic household items as a consequence of long-term care services used in the past two years. This was among adults who themselves were a resident, received care from paid nurses or aides, or a loved one was a resident, received care from paid nurses or aides and respondent contributed to the cost of care; or respondent personally provided care. Four percent even said this led to them declaring personal bankruptcy. In 2023, the cost of long-term care facilities ranged from 64 thousand to 116 thousand U.S. dollars.
