In-Home Services
 
Data cited on LongTermCare.gov shows that a person who is 65 or over has about a 70% chance of needing long-term care services at some point. If you or your loved one is having difficulty paying for outside assistance, you may want to consider whether you could provide some or all of these services yourself if you lived closer to your family member.

Staging Your Home FAQs: Why a Professional Cleaner Matters

When you decide to sell your home, suddenly you have to think of your space objectively.
