Nursing Home Finder Guide is an independent educational website that helps families understand nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, and long-term care options in the United States.
What we do
We publish plain-English guides on choosing a care facility, understanding costs, reading official ratings and inspection reports, knowing resident rights, and supporting loved ones through the transition into care. Our goal is to make a stressful, confusing process a little clearer.
What we don’t do
- We are not a medical provider, law firm, or financial advisor.
- We do not place residents, operate facilities, or receive referral fees from nursing homes.
- We do not rank or recommend specific facilities. Instead, we teach you how to evaluate them using official sources like Medicare’s Care Compare.
Who writes here
Guides are written by Patricia Morgan, who covers long-term care topics full-time. Content is researched from official sources — primarily medicare.gov, cms.gov, and eldercare.acl.gov — and reviewed regularly. Every guide shows its publication date.
How we’re funded
This site is reader-supported through display advertising. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored rankings, or referral fees from care facilities. Our editorial content is independent of our advertising.
