Once upon a time, there was no such thing as long-term care, at least not as a significant social, political, and economic issue, and certainly no long-term care (LTC) insurance. Americans tended to stay put, which meant that the family had not yet become nuclear; two or more generations lived in close proximity, perhaps even in the same home. The care of the elderly, unless they were critically ill, was a family or community responsibility; and the elderly were generally not all that old. Then, as now, the actual care-giving tended to be the purview of women, but they were far less likely to hold down jobs outside the home, let alone to be their own or their familys sole support.
