Aging in place is the hope of most seniors. They want to stay home and maintain their independence. A 2018 AARP study found 76 percent of Americans over 50 wanted to remain in their home as long as possible.
But what if help is needed to age in place? Some seniors may need home health care. And the big question is how much will this cost? Does Medicare provide any coverage for home health care? Depending on where you live in the country, staying at home may be a pricey proposition.
