This calculator helps you estimate the costs associated with long-term care based on your location, type of care, and duration. It's designed for individuals planning their financial futures and seeking to understand potential expenses.
All calculations are based on data from authoritative sources, including government health reports and industry standards. For more detailed information, refer to the National Institute on Aging. All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by this source.
The estimated cost is calculated using the formula:
Cost = (Base Rate * Location Factor * Care Type Factor) * Duration
Consider a scenario where you live in California and need nursing home care for 2 years. The base rate is $70,000, the location factor is 1.2, and the care type factor is 1.5. The total cost would be calculated as:
Cost = (70,000 * 1.2 * 1.5) * 2 = $252,000
