had to fill out forms or get a permit first or sign in with the police or anything complicated, i probably wouldn't have done it. today people are living longer than they ever have before. that's right. not only are we getting older, but our senior population is multiplying. during the next 35 years, the number of people over the age of 65 is expected to double, and demand for medications, specialists, and life prolonging procedures are expected to skyrocket. but what does getting old today really mean? more birthdays, more bills. more walks, more walkers, more play, more pills. sure, most of the time old age seems like all coupons and early bird specials, but what happens when the day comes that we can't take care of ourselveses?

7:16 pm
when you see assisted living places, does it make you think of when tootie is not going to be around anymore? >> no. i don't think about things like that. maybe because it's i don't want to think about it. >> yeah. but you'd have to plan for it. so what are the things that you have looked at for your own personal life care? >> i really haven't. >> you haven't? >> no. i figured you'd be there. >> it's all going to be my responsibility? >> yeah. >> by 2040, more than 81 million americans will be over the age of 65. most of them at some point will need some sort of extended care. and just like my father, they haven't planned for it. and they have no idea how much it really costs. most private nursing homes cost an average of $77,000 per year. if you're wealthy, you can most likely afford a private option. but for the vast majority of merps who have paid into the
7:17 pm
system their whole lives, social security only gives you 1,230 a month and medicare only covers you up to 100 days. that's not much help when today some experts predict the average person will need roughly $900,000 to cover their expenses throughout their retirement. a staggering amount when you consider that the majority of senior citizens have less than $30,000 saved for retirement. if you want to live forever, you better find a way to pay for it. >> no, i want to just kind of hear your thoughts on tootie's financial situation. >> oh, my. >> and where she is. >> well, our dad when he retired, he opted or the them to, you know, take his retirement money and invest it. they were guaranteed a certain amount of money every month. >> right. >> for 20 years. well, mother has outlived it.
7:18 pm
and when it was gone, it was gone. so now all she has is social security. >> wow. she has outlived it by six years already. >> yes, already. >> does she have any savings at all? >> as far as a savings account, it's just about depleted. >> yeah. you have to basically live on -- is that all paid for by social security? >> what? >> like everything you have to pay for. >> mostly. >> and how much do you get a month on social security? >> $1300 after everything is taken out of it. >> so that's after they take out medicare. >> they take out $97 for i guess that's medicare part. and then -- and i pay blue cross $257 a month. >> so what are all your other expenses? what are the things you have to pay for every month? >> i have nine different bills.
7:19 pm
my garbage. that's $18 a month. my gas bill is all budgeted to $94. my electric bill. last month it paid $139. my cable is $68.53. and my phone was $52.79 this past month. and my water is $68.82 a month. >> so once you get your social security check, plus your other bills, that money is gone? >> yeah. >> yeah. no matter where you live, ageing is an expensive proposition. but more and more frequently, parents are having to rely on their children to help bear the expenses. my aunt sandy has been caring for her ailing father at her home. >> hi, pop? how are you today? >> he suffers from dementia, and now requires 24-hour-care. >> how old are you? >> should i tell him? i'll tell him. 96. tell him 96.

>> 96. >> yep. >> well, i hated to tell that. >> i have took care of many people, but he surprises me. >> yeah. >> he surprised me. you're a surprise. >> sandy is a good daughter? >> oh, yeah. >> because we're a team, aren't we? >> uh-huh. >> yeah. okay? we had to make some significant changes to his room. we had to bring a hospital bed in. but because i wanted it to look like his room, i took the headboard off of his bed and i velcroed it to the wall. and this is where the ladies stay at night. they stay right here in the chair beside him. >> all night? >> all night. >> so if he wakes up he is not alone? >> he is never alone. 24/7, he is never alone. if i'm not here, one of them is here, all the time.
7:21 pm
>> why did you decide to keep him at home? >> when you take someone with dementia out of their own environment, it usually increases the dementia. >> how much longer can he stay at home? >> i don't know. when my mother was living, my mother died a year ago. before that, she and i took care of him. after my mom passed away, i realized that i couldn't do 24/7 with him because you have to be hands on, eyes on, all the time. it's extremely expensive. it can run $8,000 to $10,000 a month. >> and that's not covered by any insurance? >> no. it's money that he and my mom saved. >> so if he hadn't had that money, what would have happened? >> oh, my gosh, i don't know. he has a social security, but that's not enough. we would have had to do the medicaid spend down, i guess. >> what is the hardest part for you? >> just watching your dad deteriorate is hard.
7:22 pm
you can imagine what it would be like with your folks to watch them get a little worse every time you see them. well, it's like that every day. you make it work. you suck it up and go on. >> yeah. >> because i don't think i have a choice with that. i can't just walk away from him, and i won't. >> yeah. >> see, now there, look at that custard pie. wow. >> oh, wow. >> wonderful! >> is this the one you made? >> this is the one i made. >> is this yours? >> yeah. >> it's good. >> look at that. >> you did good. >> how did we do, too-too? >> i've told becky, somebody in the family had to know how to
