Oops!  In a previous response (which has gone through the moderator
yet), I said that you estimate was low and that the national average
was $70K to $114K, citing a Fidelity retirement planning tool.  I
pressed "submit" before double-checking the Fidelity site.  As it
turns out, I remembered the low end incorrectly.  It is $42K.  My bad!

But I think it is assisted living costs, not nursing homes, that I am
interested in.  So your range above is useful to me.  Thanks.
