Why we started SeniorSite

SeniorSite started in 2020 with a simple goal: give families researching senior care accurate, up-to-date information about communities before they had to talk to anyone. We didn't want families clicking blindly through a directory of brochure copy - we wanted descriptions, reviews, real photos, and a way to request pricing without friction.

The site covers all 50 states. We list assisted living, nursing homes, independent living, home care, senior apartments, and memory care. The directory is built from public business records and refined as operators claim and update their pages. Our editorial library walks through how to evaluate a community, what each care level includes, and what costs to expect.

Our goal is to help you make an informed decision and connect with as many communities as you need to until you find the right one.

How we work

  • Independent listings

    Our directory is built from public business records and refined as operators claim and update their pages. Operator subscriptions don't change what other communities you see - they only let the operator edit their own listing.

  • Editorial guides

    Our resource library covers care types, costs, government benefits, and how to evaluate a community. Written and reviewed by editors with senior-care experience and sourced to primary references (Medicare.gov, CMS, AARP, Genworth).

  • Family-focused

    Researching senior care is stressful. We keep the page quiet: clear information, real reviews, one Get Pricing form when you're ready - and we disclose where that request goes before you submit it.

How SeniorSite makes money

Families use SeniorSite for free. We're paid two ways and we want you to know both of them before you submit a pricing request.

1. Operator subscriptions

Senior living communities can claim their listing and subscribe to manage it. Standard ($39.99/month) lets the operator edit their listing copy, upload photos, and reply to reviews. Premium ($350/month) adds featured placement on relevant search pages, pricing requests delivered directly to the operator's inbox, the "Verified by SeniorSite" badge, and richer media. See the full comparison on the operator plans page.

Operator subscriptions don't change what other communities appear next to yours in search results - they only let the subscribing operator edit their own listing and (on Premium) show above standard listings on relevant pages.

2. Referral partners

When a family submits a Get Pricing request and we can't match it with a subscribed Premium community in their area, we share the request with senior-living referral services. These partners contact the family on behalf of communities they represent. The referral partner is paid a commission by the community when a tour or move-in happens - never by the family.

We disclose this here, on the Get Pricing form, and in our Privacy Policy. If you'd rather your pricing request not be shared with a referral partner, you can let us know via the contact form and we'll route your request directly to the operators of the communities you named, with no third-party involvement.

Editorial standards

Every guide on SeniorSite is written or reviewed by The SeniorSite Editorial Team. We cite primary sources (Medicare.gov, CMS, state Medicaid waiver programs, AARP, Genworth Cost of Care) wherever statistics appear, link out to government data instead of paraphrasing it, and update guides as policy and pricing change.

Property listings are imported from public business directories and refined as operators claim and update them. Reviews are submitted by residents and family members, confirmed by email, and not published unless they describe a specific community experience.
