Looks like a great series and definitely something to watch out for. We need to create more awareness about long-term care since the demand for this healthcare service will undeniably increase in the next years. Special focus should be placed on planning financially for long-term care because Medicaid's funds are dwindling and not all facilities have beds for Medicaid patients. So if we can avoid relying on Medicaid, by all means, we should! I suggest these readings:
