Why switch from Genworth / CareScout Cost of Care Survey?
Shows state median costs only — no funding analysis, no care needs assessment, no multi-year projection. Data is the industry standard but the tool gives you a number, not a plan.
- Need funding analysis alongside cost data, not just the bill
- Want to model costs over multiple years with realistic inflation
- Need care type recommendation based on actual care needs
