And in addition to monetary concerns, according to a survey conducted by AXA Equitable Insurance, most Americans are highly concerned with the quality of life offered by different long term care options. With so many factors to consider, an increasing number of Americans of all ages are beginning to research elderly housing and long-term care options in their home states.
