Where does the directory's data come from?
Only from official bulk data: AGE's certified-residence list (as of June 25, 2026), each residence's mass.gov record page and posted Compliance Review Reports (retrieved November 6, 2026), and CMS's provider data (as of October 1, 2026); we do not use aggregator listings, operator marketing or reviews.
Every listing page carries a “Source” line with the data date. Facility pages exist for every certified Assisted Living Residence and every certified nursing home; home health agencies and hospices appear as roster rows.
How do I use the listing pages?
Each listing page has a search box and town filter (and a CMS rating filter for nursing homes), and every column sorts when you click its heading, so you can list every Leominster residence by units or every nursing home by staffing hours.
What doesn't Massachusetts publish that families would want?
Massachusetts does not publish assisted living prices by residence, a rating of any assisted living residence, or nursing home daily rates by facility, and not every ALR compliance review report is posted online, so the directory cannot show them.
It does publish more than many states: unit counts, Special Care Residence counts and the compliance review reports that are posted. For nursing homes, CMS fills most of the gap. The questions on each facility page cover the rest in person.
