Nearly 70% of seniors will need some form of long-term care services<\/a> in their later years. The Administration for Community Living estimates that 69% of people who turned 65 in 2020 will require care throughout their remaining lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal poverty level defines low income as $15,650 annually for a single person and $32,150 for a family of four in 2025. These poverty levels in Michigan tell only part of the story.
