The middle class spends down their money and goes on Medicaid.
It wouldn’t take long for the average person to wind up on Medicaid at those rates, even with a pension and SS. Perhaps a couple of months. Plus, a lot of facilities won’t even accept Medicaid.
That’s about $164k a year. If you have full time care in home, it will be more. If you need 24 hour care, you are just waiting to die. Hopefully that doesn’t take years.
How insensitive. Someone in oxygen and in a wheelchair may need almost 24 hour care.

This. The lucky ones have homes that have appreciated enough and that they can sell to pay for their long-term care for a couple years. Hopefully they don't linger longer than that (sad but true).

Yeah that's what we found...450-500s a day in the DC area...if you go down to Southern VA you can find decent places for 300-350 a day.

For those who private pay for a skilled nursing facility, how much do you pay and where is the facility located?
