Retirement care planner

Families facing a parent's decline must rapidly assemble a plan across fragmented domains (in-home care, assisted living, Medicare vs. Medicaid eligibility, out-of-pocket affordability) with no single source of truth. Costs are opaque and rising, benefit rules are confusing, and decisions are usually made reactively during a crisis, leading to financial strain, caregiver burnout, and suboptimal care choices.
