The cost of care was based on an estimate of long term care spending over remaining life at age 65. The key assumptions are that 69% use some form of LTC (paid & unpaid) with 58% having LTC payments. In 2005 real dollars, for those that use services, the average was $150,000. Women ($166,878) use more than men ($108,180). On average those who use LTC, the average length of use is 4.35 years with 2.3 years being paid.
