Long-term care isn’t a medical problem—it’s an asset problem most retirees don’t see coming. In this episode, Chris Kichurchak breaks down what long-term care really is, when it’s triggered, and why Medicare and Medicaid often fall short. He explores how care actually shows up in real life, from in‑home help to cognitive decline, and why waiting too long can force families into difficult financial and emotional decisions. The conversation also highlights why women are disproportionately affected, how Medicaid spend‑down works, and the planning options available to address long‑term care before a crisis hits. A clear, realistic look at one of retirement’s most avoided topics.
