Long-Term Care Costs Survey
Hi there, we are just a few volunteers working on a tool to help inform people about the costs of providing care to someone who needs care. This recipient of care (care recipient) might be a parent, a relative, or possibly, a dear friend - someone who needs care from others. We wanted to guide people through the care options and the costs involved. To be able to create a tool (in the form of a calculator), we would like you to share with us the costs that you have had to handle in your care for your care recipient.
