What Is SeniorCareCalc.org?
SeniorCareCalc.org is a free, independent tool that helps families compare home care vs assisted living costs by state and estimate the impact of VA benefits.

Our Data Sources
Cost data is sourced from the CareScout (formerly Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey, A Place for Mom's 2026 Costs of Long-Term Care and Senior Living Report, and SeniorCost.com analysis of CMS facility cost reports. VA benefit rates reflect official VA pension rates effective December 1, 2025.

All calculations are estimates for planning purposes only. Actual costs vary by provider, location within state, and level of care. This calculator is not a substitute for advice from a licensed elder law attorney, financial planner, or care manager.
