Care planning tools
Five tools for the decisions that sit around care — choosing the right kind of support, working out what it costs, testing whether the money lasts, and getting the paperwork in order. Nothing is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere: every calculation runs in your browser.
Which kind of care fits?
Eight questions about the person who needs care, and what the family can realistically do. The result ranks the care types that suit that situation, and points you at the matching directory listings.
OpenMonthly care cost calculator
Estimate what a care option costs each month in a given state, at a given number of hours and level of nursing. The figure carries its assumptions with it — read them before you rely on the number.
OpenRetirement care budget planner
Test whether savings and income cover care, once care costs start rising faster than income. The readout says plainly whether the money lasts, and what to do about it if it does not.
OpenPlanning ahead
Seven questions about documents, housing, money and who decides. The result is a personalised action list you can print and work through at your own pace.
OpenCare checklists
Three lists for the situations where it is easy to forget something — leaving hospital, choosing a care home, and getting documents in order. Tick as you go; nothing is saved.

What these figures assume
None of these tools stores anything. There is no account, no form submission and no analytics on your answers — close the tab and the answers are gone. Costs are indicative ranges compiled from published fee schedules, not quotes, and we do not verify licences or fees.
