Why families trust this site
We're independent. We don't take referral fees from communities, so we can tell you the things sales tours won't: what's not in the quoted monthly rate, how to check real staffing, how "free" placement services get paid, and how Medicaid can claim the family home afterward. Big decisions deserve straight answers.
