Where the records come from
Nursing homes: the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publish the Provider Data files behind Medicare Care Compare. We use the provider information file: star ratings, staffing, beds and ownership. Assisted living homes: the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, publishes each home's license, capacity and state visits.
What we show
For each home: name, address, type, capacity and license details. For nursing homes we also show the Medicare star ratings and staffing figures; for assisted living, the license status and the number and date of state visits. We copy the regulators' numbers without changing them, and every page links to the official record.
What we do not show
We do not publish names of residents, staff or administrators. When a license is held by an individual and not a company, we do not reprint that person's name; the state record has it. For more about a home, open the official record linked from its page.
How to read a record
Medicare's overall star rating combines health inspections, staffing and quality measures: 5 is much above average and 1 is much below. A large home and a small one differ in many ways, so compare homes of similar size and use the rating as a starting point, next to a visit and a conversation.
Limits
Records lag behind events. SeniorProven does not rate, recommend or sell placements, and takes no payment from homes for their position.
State visit records are loaded for 1,905 of 7,914 assisted living homes so far. The list of homes comes from the state file dated May 25, 2025.
