BLOOMFIELD, N.J., Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — 70% of Americans 65 and over will need some form of long-term care in their lifetime, but most are unprepared for the high cost—with only 35% of Americans over 40 saving money for long-term care expenses. Long-term care services, paid for out-of-pocket if you don\’t qualify for Medicaid, include assistance with essential daily activities like bathing, dressing, and making meals. New Jersey seniors hiring a full-time caregiver through a home care agency can expect to pay on average $48,506 per year—a daunting expense considering the average 50 year old has $42,797 in retirement savings. The rising senior population will bring an unprecedented need for affordable long-term care services, which many seniors struggle to find.

Last month, the court ordered the governor’s office to release its \”secret\” directory of media contacts and VIPs, assembled at taxpayers’ expense.

But what Christie’s staff gave New Jersey Watchdog last week contained only half of the information described in court papers. Instead of 2,500 names, the list has only 1,229 entries.
