Today, advisors in Canada continue to neglect healthcare research because they believe healthcare expenses to be insignificant. However, advisors have recognized that long-term care and assisted living are important factors to consider when planning for retirement.

Key findings in this Advicent Insights whitepaper include:

  • Canadians now have a better chance than ever to live more than 100 years, with the number of centenarians projected to top 78,000 in the next 50 years.
  • Healthcare costs are rising at a significant rate that is faster than the rising costs of inflation, shelter, clothing, and food.
  • Out-of-pocket healthcare expenses are a significant cost for Canadians with the most common being vision care, dental care, prescription drugs, ambulance services, and independent living.
  • Disability costs are a rising concern for Canadian seniors between the ages of 65 and 74 as nearly a quarter of these individuals will become disabled.
  • Though many Canadians believe full-time care in a long-term facility will be covered by government programs, the trust is only a small party of these expenses may be covered.
