Oregon Financial Planning

Oregon - Financial Planning and Management

Planning for a financially stable retirement is an intimidating and stressful concept for many when so many questions about health, rising senior care costs, and housing cannot be answered definitively. Seniors can plan on paying quite a bit for housing options, but the costs will vary depending on the type of care required and the location of facilities. If your loved one is trying to figure out future finances, be sure to ask if they have any existing insurance or retirement plan coverage which can help defray costs along with various government plans or those offered through some union or fraternal organizations.

Regardless of comparison to the national median, Oregon senior care is costly. According to Genworth Financial, the median yearly costs for senior care in Oregon are as follows:

- Assisted Living (private, one bedroom): $46,200

- Nursing Home (semi-private room): $82,125

- Nursing Home (private room): $91,250
