LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Almost half of Medicare beneficiaries have either one or two disabilities according to data shared today by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI).
"The disability risk among seniors is important information for two reasons," explains Jesse Slome, had of the long-term care insurance advocacy group. "Disabilities are a key risk that aging Americans face resulting in the need for costly care. Equally important is the fact that once someone has a disability they generally can not qualify for long-term care insurance."
The latest data is highly relevant and important to share prior to turning 65 recommends the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. "Living a long life means the likelihood of needing aide," shares AALTCI's Slome. "And that's why planning especially before turning age 65 is important."

"One in five (20.1%) Medicare beneficiaries reported one disability and 22.4 percent reported two disabilities," Slome shared. The data reflected seniors 65 and older who had difficulty hearing, seeing, remembering, dressing or bathing.
