The magic of power: Christie’s transparency disappears | NJ Watchdog

By Mark Lagerkvist / September 30, 2015

NJ Start-Up, eCaregivers.com, Brings Hope to Seniors Struggling to Pay for Care

BLOOMFIELD, N.J., Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — 70% of Americans 65 and over will need some form of long-term care in their lifetime, but most are unprepared for the high cost—with only 35% of Americans over 40 saving money for long-term care expenses. Long-term care services, paid for out-of-pocket if you don\’t qualify for Medicaid, include assistance with essential daily activities like bathing, dressing, and making meals. New Jersey seniors hiring a full-time caregiver through a home care agency can expect to pay on average $48,506 per year—a daunting expense considering the average 50 year old has $42,797 in retirement savings. The rising senior population will bring an unprecedented need for affordable long-term care services, which many seniors struggle to find.
