Mission
To give families clear, honest, practical education about nursing homes and long-term care — free from facility marketing and referral pressure.
Sourcing
- Primary sources: medicare.gov (including Care Compare), cms.gov, and eldercare.acl.gov.
- We link to official sources so readers can verify key facts themselves.
- We do not invent ratings, statistics, prices, or policy details. When official numbers change, we update the guide and its date.
Independence
- No paid placements, sponsored rankings, or referral fees from care facilities — ever.
- Advertising (display ads) is separated from editorial content and never influences what we write.
Review and corrections
- Every guide shows its publication date and is reviewed periodically.
- Corrections: email info@topnursinghomes.online with the page URL. Verified errors are fixed promptly and noted where significant.
Author
Guides are written by Patricia Morgan, who covers long-term care topics full-time. She is a writer and researcher, not a clinician or attorney — which is why every guide carries a clear disclaimer and points readers to licensed professionals for personal decisions.
