When we reach our twilight years, one of the key ingredients to staying healthy, remaining independent, and living longer with a high quality of life is exercise.

Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, staffing shortages continue to affect medical care facilities around the U.S., and long-term care is no exception. ValuePenguin health care expert Robin Townsend says this and other factors are putting the quality of long-term care at risk.

Despite this, some states provide better long-term care than others. According to the latest ValuePenguin study — which analyzes data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Census Bureau County Business Patterns and more to assess cost, accessibility and quality of care in each state — Arizona ranks highest for long-term care.
