About the LTC News Cost of Care Calculator
The LTC News Cost of Care Calculator is a practical planning tool designed to help you whether you are searching for care services for a loved one or planning ahead for long-term care and retirement. It is especially valuable when designing a Long-Term Care Insurance policy.
LTC News regularly surveys care providers and facilities nationwide, using actual retail costs rather than published rates, then incorporates Long-Term Care Insurance claims data and additional independent research to determine median retail long-term care costs in communities across the country, making it the most accurate data available.
Using this foundation, the calculator incorporates historical trends, projected labor cost increases, and broader economic factors to estimate future long-term care expenses.
This information is provided as an educational planning resource to support informed decision-making. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, estimates are not guaranteed, and actual costs may vary.
The data may be used and published with proper attribution to LTC News.
