Cognitive Biases That Harm Long Term Care Decisions - #139

Description
Needing long-term care (LTC) is largely not something that is an unknown. This issue isn’t “if,” it’s “when.”  I was recently talking with a client about the difficulty in having instant options available when deciding to go into independent or assisted living.  LTC facilities often have waiting lists that are months or years long. When you need a unit now, options can be non-existent. And three long-term biases often keep us from acting in time to avert a crisis.
