Anthony Marrone of Marrone Law Firm reveals that roughly half of his work now involves helping families find and afford long-term care — a growing need he never anticipated when he started out. He describes Central New York as a "care desert," with far fewer nursing home beds than comparable cities and average costs approaching $18,000 a month. For most middle-class families, that kind of expense can wipe out a lifetime of savings fast. Anthony shares what his firm is doing to help families protect their assets while navigating a system he describes plainly as a real crisis.
