Start Your Care PlanPlanning Ahead

    Smart move — you're planning ahead

    You have time. Let's use it to make the best choices.

    No emergency yet — but you can feel it coming. Maybe your parent is slowing down, or you're starting to think about your own future. Planning now isn't pessimistic. It's the single best thing you can do for your family.

    What You'll Walk Away With

    Our guided assessment looks at your living situation, finances, and support network — then gives you a clear picture of how prepared you are.

    A Preparedness Score

    Understand where you stand across housing, finances, health, and family support — and see exactly what gaps to close before they become urgent.

    Real Costs for Your State

    See what care actually costs where you live — with monthly estimates for each care type so you can plan around real numbers, not guesswork.

    A Proactive Action Plan

    Get specific next steps based on your results — from financial strategies to legal documents to conversations you should have now, while you have time.

    Proactive Long-Term Care Planning Assessment

    LTCareNav's Track A care assessment helps families who are planning ahead for long-term care before an emergency arises. The assessment evaluates your current living situation, financial preparedness, health outlook, and family support network to generate a personalized preparedness score.

    Your results include: a preparedness score across housing, finances, health, and family support; real monthly care cost estimates for your state including home care, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home costs; and a proactive action plan with specific next steps covering financial strategies, legal documents, and family conversations.

    After completing the assessment, explore resources including Medicaid eligibility and planning, caregiver compensation programs, veterans benefits like VA Aid and Attendance, financial planning tools, nonprofit assistance from organizations like the Alzheimer's Association, and your state's senior services directory.
