Every community above is evaluated across six weighted categories using public data including state inspection records, review platforms, BBB profiles, and operator-published materials. Rank badges compare each community against others offering the same care type in the same state — never against a different care type.
The single largest share of every ranking. Aggregated review sentiment and volume from major platforms — the closest signal to real resident experience.
State inspection records, citations, and complaint visits. We weight per-inspection rates more heavily than raw counts.
Communities that publish high-quality visuals give families a real preview. No photos or tours = a negative transparency signal.
Site quality and whether the operator publishes basic accountability information — staff names, contact details, ownership.
Operational signals indicating whether a community is well-run and meeting demand.
Walkability and pricing transparency. Walk Score is weighted higher for Independent Living than for Memory Care, where most residents do not leave unaccompanied.
We help families find affordable senior communities and unlock same day discounts, Medicaid, and Medicare options tailored to your needs.
