The benchmark dataset for senior care costs. Published annually since 2004, now operated by CareScout. Covers all 50 states across 5 care types with metro-level granularity.

Shows state median costs only — no funding analysis, no care needs assessment, no multi-year projection. Data is the industry standard but the tool gives you a number, not a plan.

The largest senior care referral platform. Operates as a lead generation business connecting families with assisted living and memory care facilities that pay per referral.

Referral site — shows cost ranges to collect your phone number, then connects you with paying facility partners. The cost data serves the referral, not your planning.

Editorial resource covering senior living options, costs, and care types. Strong content library but limited interactive tools. Revenue from advertising and facility referrals.

Content-heavy site with cost guides but no interactive calculator. Costs are presented as editorial content, not personalized to your state or situation.
