Abstract

How much do age 45+ Americans really know about long-term care (LTC) costs and how to pay for them? Not as much as they think they do. And much of what they think they know frequently turns out to be inaccurate. The study was conducted – and the report prepared – for AARP by Roper Public Affairs & Media of GfK NOP. Survey data were gathered through telephone interviews with a national random sample of 1,456 age 45+ adults between August 23rd and September 25th, 2006. In addition, state-level data were gathered via telephone interviews with a random sample of 400 people in each of the following states — California, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Carolina (abstract from: http://www.aarp.org/research/longtermcare/costs/ltc_costs_2006.html).
