Common questions
Are these online tools or calculators?
Not yet. This release keeps tools static and privacy-friendly. The focus is on simple worksheets and planning aids that work without accounts, tracking, or backend services.
Who should fill them out?
Usually the caregiver and older adult together if possible. The goal is to make the reality of home life visible so the next decision is easier to make together.
