Why Use an App to Find Assisted Living?

Finding the right assisted living community is a high-stakes decision that rarely happens at a desk. Families need information in the moments that matter — in the car between tours, at the hospital, or on the phone with a sibling in another city.

A mobile app designed for assisted living search puts the full comparison platform in your pocket.

What the CareGrade™ App Does for Assisted Living

1. Trust Grades for Every Community

Every assisted living community in the app carries a SeniorTrust™ Score — a letter grade (A–D) calculated from regulatory inspections, CCLD deficiency citations, staffing data, and verified reviews.

  • A Grade: Excellent regulatory record, strong staffing, clean inspections
  • B Grade: Solid with minor areas for improvement
  • C Grade: Notable concerns — deficiencies or low staffing
  • D Grade: Significant regulatory or operational problems
