Share your elder care costs with Business Insider

Business Insider is inviting readers to share their stories with reporters to help us assemble a comprehensive look at these costs.

Business Insider is inviting families to share the financial details of caring for elderly relatives in the United States. The costs of long-term care can exceed $200,000 per year. Families are struggling to predict these expenses and lack resources to provide any reference. Business Insider aims to compile a comprehensive look at these costs by gathering individual experiences.

They seek to understand how much families have spent on various elder care options like memory care facilities, tiny homes, and even relocating abroad. The questionnaire asks for basic information about the elder care situation. Following submission, a reporter may contact the respondent via email or text to discuss more detailed questions and verify costs through documents like bills, receipts, and insurance information.

All shared data will only be accessible to Business Insider's staff involved in this project. Responses and any subsequent information provided will be used in Business Insider's reporting on elder care costs.
