Re: Do women have a higher need for long term care compared to men?

Yes it's true that women need long term care more than men and this is because of their life span. Based on the statistics found on http://www.ltcoptions.com,
life expectancy of women is 80.5 while it's 75.9 for men. Since they are expected to live much longer, then their demand for long term care would be higher. This only shows that this should be one of your concerns from now, you should start planning for care as soon as possible and consider purchasing long term care insurance.
