Long-term care costs can be a significant threat to family farming operations. Nursing homes cost around $100,000 per year, a cost that many farms cannot absorb and remain viable. Many farmers believe that long-term care will cause farm assets, including farmland, to be sold. However, statistics and data indicate that, on average, this may not the case. The average farmer can likely absorb the average costs of long-term care. However, few farms can withstand the outlier scenario where many years are spent in a nursing home.
