Where Do You Want to Spend Your Golden Years?
By: Kristin Daugherty, Long-Term Care Planner, Certified Medicaid Planner™
I have read a few articles lately that are circulating the internet about living on a cruise ship or hotel instead of a nursing home. I’ll tell you, it’s an interesting concept – living in luxury, being waited on, and possibly traveling the world at the same time – why not?
In 2019, the average cost of a nursing home in Pennsylvania was $342.58 per day or $10,420.14 per month! I did some research of my own and the average nightly cost of a hotel in Pennsylvania is around $100. A cruise ship is a bit more with an average nightly cost of $150. For between $3,000 - $4,500 you can live your golden years traveling across the ocean or trying out different hotels. Sounds great, so what are we missing?
