For employers and HR teams
“An employee's parent needs care. What can we point them to that does not sell them something?”
About one working adult in five is caring for an older relative, and the first question is almost always the cost. This site answers it for any city without a sign-in, a sales call or a lead form, which makes it a safe link for a benefits page, an employee assistance newsletter or a manager's toolkit.
What to hand a family
- Cost calculatorThe monthly figure for a parent's city and care type, in one screen, with a shareable URL.
- Affordability screenerStart from the family's budget and see which options it reaches, before anyone takes a day off to tour.
- Caregiver pay estimatorWhether an employee can be paid through a state program to provide care, with the official links.
Links that remember where a family came from
Paste these into a resource page, a newsletter or an email. The tag on the end tells us a family arrived through your link, and nothing more: no cookie, no account, no information about the person. If you want to see how many of your families used the site, ask and we will send the count.
State fact sheets
A state fact sheet for each state you have employees in, for the benefits portal or a lunch-and-learn. Every state has one, and each prints on a single page from the browser. Pick a state.
Put a cost table on your own page
The embed gallery generates one line of code for a city cost table, a city against state against national comparison, a licensed provider count or a care type cost card. The widget updates itself when the data updates and carries one attribution link back to the source page. No registration and no tracking script.
Frequently asked questions
Does linking commit our organization to anything?
No. There is no agreement to sign, no fee and no data shared. The link can be removed at any time.
Will employees who use the site be contacted?
Only if they choose to ask for a shortlist by email, which is optional. Reading any page collects no contact details.
