There are a good amount of healthcare resources for retirees and government workers in [WA, USA].
Before he passed away last summer my grandfather was using $26000USD/mo of insurance benefits which the state paid for as he was a retired public employee[0]. Literally added up all the expenditures because I was visiting and bored. This was mainly GP/Antibiotics at a hospital/PT work. The only thing they don't cover is long term care, of which we are currently paying $7500USD/mo for my grandmother.
Yeah, it's a lot of money and they sold their [Grandparents] house last year for approximately $490,000USD after realtors comissions and fees thankfully before COVID. But I hope that puts things in to perspective for those outside the USA.
Basically you have to do a medicare trust for your house or pay $6000-$13000USD/mo for longterm care. Usually what happens is people spend down the parental assets then apply for medicare and they try and find them a nursing home or memory care bed.
