Problem

When parents receive long-term care grade 3-4, adult children in their 50s cannot determine the optimal combination of home-visit care, home-visit bathing, home-visit nursing, day/night care, and assistive devices within the monthly benefit cap (approximately 1,280,000 KRW / ~$960 for grade 3). Care agency recommendations are biased toward their own services, and the National Health Insurance Service simply advises 'the family decides.' As a result, families either use only 60-70% of their benefit cap or exhaust it on services that don't match actual needs.

Solution

On a web interface, users enter their parent's care grade, primary needs (mobility assistance, cognitive training, bathing, meals, etc.), and family caregiving availability by time slot. The service then: (1) simulates 3-5 possible benefit combinations within the monthly cap, (2) compares actual out-of-pocket costs (15% co-pay) and service hours for each combination, (3) matches nearby home care agencies along with their quality ratings.

Target: Ages 48-58, adult children whose parents have received or are about to apply for long-term care grades 2-4, families seeking to maintain home-based care
Revenue Model: Basic combination simulation Free, nearby agency matching + monthly benefit usage tracking Monthly Subscription $4.40 (5,900 KRW), agency referral commission (B2B)
