The Cordwainer

A planning tool from The Cordwainer

A private way to think through what memory care could cost your family.

This planner helps you gauge whether memory care is financially within reach — without asking for a single dollar amount.

At the end you’ll have a personalized report you can share with family or a financial advisor. We built it because the cost question is the one most families won’t ask out loud, and we’d rather you have a clear answer than no answer.

A few things worth saying upfront.

No dollar amounts

We don’t ask for income or savings figures. Every question is qualitative — your best sense is enough.

Honest about fit

Cordwainer is a private-pay community and does not accept MassHealth. If that’s a fit issue, we’ll tell you and point you to resources that can help.

Funding you may not know about

VA Aid & Attendance, long-term care insurance, life insurance conversion, home equity — your report covers what applies to you.
