On the launch of the BBC's care cost calculator, Janet Morrison, Chief Executive of Independent Age, said:
“Working out what to pay for care is a complex business and is often approached at a strained and emotional point in people’s lives. Anything that makes this process simpler to plan, understand and navigate is applauded. We welcome tools such as the BBC’s Care Calculator, and hope it will help older people and their families to understand the future costs of care and specifically how it will affect their unique and personal situation.”
