The question most families postpone
It is the hardest item on the list, so it tends to move to the bottom of it. But a decision deferred indefinitely is still a decision, and the version made under pressure — after a bereavement, in a hospital corridor — is rarely the one anyone would have chosen with time.
LegacyNest does not choose a home for your child. It gives you a structured way to compare what exists, understand what suits your child specifically — whether they are autistic, have cerebral palsy, or another condition — and record the reasoning while you are still here to explain it.
You choose the place
LegacyNest helps you evaluate options based on your need.
How it works
-
Answer 15 questions
About your child, your family, money, and what is realistically available where you live.
-
Get two recommendations
One for now and one for after you — each with the reasons behind it, so you can disagree with the reasoning rather than just the answer.
-
See alternatives and flags
Explore the other options open to you, and see what would need attention in each.
-
Judge any place yourself
Use the 11-point home safety check and the 12-point facility check to assess somewhere the platform has never heard of — a relative's house, a local home, anywhere you are considering.
Eleven living options, compared side by side
The arrangements available to Indian families range from staying in the current home with support, through assisted living, to full-time residential facilities. The platform evaluates the combinations your answers imply and surfaces the possibilities that genuinely apply to your situation, rather than presenting a generic list.
Every plan carries a backup — and an emergency plan
Because the first choice isn't always the one that's available.
What travels with the plan
A place is only half of it. What makes a move survivable for your child is everything a new carer would otherwise have to learn by trial and error:
-
Daily routine
Bedtime rituals, sleep aids, the hours that actually work.
-
Food & diet
Favourite foods, foods to avoid, texture preferences.
-
Comfort items
The toys, blanket, music and objects that bring calm.
-
Communication
How your child expresses need, distress and consent.
-
Accessibility
What a building has to accommodate before it is even a candidate.
-
Emergency
Who to call, and what they will need to be told immediately.
Kept current, shared carefully
-
Private and secure
Your data is encrypted and stays in your control.
-
Shared with your care circle
Family, caregivers and coordinators — only those you nominate.
-
Documents in one place
Upload, organise and reach them from anywhere.
-
Updated anytime
Plans and information change as life does.
Your family's information stays private
Records are held on infrastructure located in India and are visible only to you and the people you explicitly nominate. See our privacy policy for how information is handled.
Begin before it is urgent
The point of doing this early is that you get to change your mind, visit places, and revise the plan as your child grows. None of that is available in a crisis.
