U.S.’s Best, Worst Places to Grow Old
California is one of the best states in which to grow old, according to a report by Caring.com. A study ranked all 50 states in 13 financial, healthcare and quality of life categories focused on senior care. The top states on the list include Utah, Iowa, South Carolina, Washington, Nebraska, Arizona and California.
The Golden State ranked No. 3 for quality of life, but was only ranked No. 36 for cost. Utah earned the No. 1 designation with solid scores across the board. It’s the only state to crack the top 15 in quality of life/healthcare (7) and cost (14). Many states exhibit an inverse relationship between quality and price. Washington is tops for quality, but No. 38 for cost, and while Alabama has the cheapest elder care, it lags in quality (44).
The worst states to grow old in are Wyoming, North Dakota, New York, Indiana and West Virginia.
