Start where you are

Families arrive at three different moments.

The useful first step is not the same for all three.

  • Something just happened

    A fall, a hospital stay, a diagnosis. Start with what she can manage now — it takes a few minutes and ends with the licensed providers near her and what to do this week.

    The care assessment 

  • We are starting to look

    Nothing is on fire yet and the vocabulary is the problem. Six kinds of care, what each actually means, and how states license them.

    Start with what the words mean 

  • We are already managing care

    Nobody is moving anywhere. You need the meals, the aide, the ride to dialysis, the lawn, the paperwork — the whole list of what could help, in one place.

    The nine areas of need 

Find care where she lives

Every licensed community in the states we cover.

All of them, not a shortlist of the ones who paid.

Somewhere else? Check whether her state is live — and the care assessment and the guides work wherever you are.

  • Every community, not every advertiser

    Where we cover a state, you see every licensed community in it. Directories that charge facilities for placement cannot show you the ones who do not pay. We can.

  • You control who contacts you

    The big referral sites sell your number the moment you type it — one of them paid a $6 million settlement over the calls that follow (Pine v. A Place For Mom, W.D. Wash., 2:17-cv-01826-TSZ). Here, browsing requires nothing, nobody calls you, and a message you send names one community and goes to no list, no advisor and no second facility.

  • Nothing we cannot show you the source for

    Where a state publishes a file we can link to, every license fact links to it; where a state publishes no per-community record, the row carries the license number to quote instead. Where we do not hold a fact — a specific community's current price, for instance — we say so instead of guessing.
