Long Term Care in Idaho

With the most square miles of wilderness in the lower 48 states, Idaho is known for its outdoor activities. Dubbed “The Potato State” due to its large agricultural influence, Idaho is responsible for 1/3 of the potatoes grown in the United States. The population of Idaho is growing quickly, but it still remains the 7th least densely populated state in the nation. Lewiston, Idaho is home to many retirees who were attracted to the mild climate and proximity to water and like others across the country, are now facing the prospect of needing long term care.

Florida is well known for its sunny beaches, tourist towns, and theme parks. After tourism, the retirement industry is Florida’s 2nd largest economic sector, which makes sense considering Florida has the largest senior population of any state in the US.

With numerous golf courses, country clubs, and senior communities coupled with no state income tax, Florida is an ideal mecca for retirees. The only problem is choosing which city to live[…]

Connecticut lies in the New England region of the United States, with hot and humid summers followed by cool winters. The coastal location of the state moderates the extreme temperatures and provides residents with a long maritime history of trade, despite the lack of any actual state land on the coast. Connecticut doesn’t have a sports team in any of the four major professional sports leagues, but is home to hundreds of museums and theaters around the state. Nearly 15% of the state population is over the age of 65, making long term care a priority for the state legislature.
