The median annual cost of care in an assisted living facility is $41,400, up nearly 5% from last year and 23% higher than five years ago, Genworth found. The cost of at-home care, such as home health aides or homemakers, is rising at a much slower pace.he median annual cost of care in an assisted living facility is $41,400, up nearly 5% from last year and 23% higher than five years ago, Genworth found.

Paleolithic (c 2,000,000 â c 10,000 B.C.) (Old Stone Age) The Paleolithic time period is by far the longest, beginning some (circa) two million years ago to coincide with the first evidence of toolmaking and ending around 10,000 B.C. to coincide with the end of the last ice age (Pleistocene epoch).
The theoretical extent of these ice sheets during the ice age 1.5 mya is shown in white on the map below. (White area = maximum glacial extent 1.5 million years ago in the Pleistocene Epoch - Microsoft Encarta) Ice ages are said to have occurred every 150 million years, and last for at least 1 million years. According to the ice age theory, our current warm period will end with the beginning of another cold phase in 23,000 years time. Geologists claim that there have been 5 major ice ages. During ice ages the boundary of the ice sheet is hypothesised to spread and contract in cycles.
