Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 21, 2026

CareCostCalc ("we", "this site") provides free senior-care cost tools and publicly available nursing home quality data. This policy explains what information is involved when you use this site.

Calculators run in your browser

Our cost calculator, Medicaid eligibility estimator and nursing home lookup perform all calculations locally in your web browser. The figures you enter — income, assets, state, marital status — are never transmitted to or stored on any server. Closing the page discards them.

Cookies and advertising

This site plans to display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings, and learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics to understand which tools are useful (for example, page views and approximate region). We do not build profiles of individual visitors, and we never sell personal information.

External links

This site links to official sources such as CMS.gov and state Medicaid agencies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

Children

This site is intended for adults planning care for themselves or family members. It is not directed at children under 13.
