In the United States, nearly half of surveyed adults said they encountered unexpected costs for things they thought would be included but were added on as extra charges by a long-term care facility. This was among those who, in the past two years, were a resident, or a loved one was a resident of a nursing home, assisted living facility, or other LTC facility.
