RICHMOND, Va., March 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The cost of long-term care services in Ohio increased year-over-year, but remains on par with national costs, according to the 2024 Cost of Care Survey conducted by Genworth and CareScout.
"Genworth and CareScout are committed to helping our customers in Ohio create person-centered plans for how they want to receive care as they age," said Jamala Arland, President & CEO, Genworth U.S. Life Insurance. "That means integrating a person’s values, preferences, and goals into the care they receive. The Cost of Care Survey is a great resource for individuals starting to create a plan, who want to learn more about different care types and see how costs may grow over time."
National 2024 Cost of Care Survey data showed a continued upward trajectory in long-term care costs across care types, with cost increases for most care types continuing to outpace inflation rates1. The top factors contributing to increased costs were inflation and labor costs. Here’s how the cost of care in Ohio compares with national trends and the previous year:
