The financial planning firm that focuses on military service members and federal employees found that 33 percent of middle-class military families (those with household incomes of at least $50,000) are currently providing elderly care. That’s up significantly from 13 percent in 2012.
The cost of providing care is proving to be sizable for many families, says First Command. Fifty-two percent of military families said the cost was more than they expected. The average monthly estimate for providing care was $1,467, the survey found.
