Rank Methodology
We score each senior living community using a weighted model that combines public review data, government inspection reports, licensing records, and other quality-of-care indicators.
Average ratings across major platforms (Google, Yelp, Facebook) combined with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and state-assisted living reports.
Service Rating Score — 25%Ratio of high (4–5 star) to low (1–2 star) reviews across review sites and senior living–specific platforms, showing consistency of care quality.
Complaint Percentage — 25%Proportion of formal complaints and deficiencies relative to total reviews and inspections. Lower complaint ratios indicate stronger compliance and resident satisfaction.
Business Hours & Availability — 10%Communities with higher staff-to-resident ratios, extended service hours, and flexible visitation/care availability receive higher scores.
License Status — 5%Verification that the community holds an active license with its state regulatory agency.
Total Score = Σ(weight × normalized metric).
Tie-breakers: Higher Average Satisfaction → higher Service Ratio → more reviews.
Data sources: CMS government data, state/local inspection reports, verified licensing boards, and major review platforms
Update cadence: reviewed quarterly, with prompt updates when new reviews, reports, or complaints are filed

Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well.
