What is the percentage of people needing in home or nursing home care. compared to the general pop?

An insurance agent is coming to try to sell us long-term care. We are healthy 65 and 67. Wondering what the stats are on needing it in our lifetime.

Actually, the stats are pretty staggering. You're much more likely to need nursing home care than the other major forms of insurance, such as Fire insurance, etc. The article below should give you some insight and provide you with some questions for the agent. Good luck.
