What you'll find here
Every licensed assisted living home, nursing home, home care agency, home health agency and hospice in California, plus HUD-assisted senior apartments: 17,328 listings today. Each page shows what the state license or Medicare record says, with the date of the data and a link to the source.
How providers are listed
Every provider with an open license or Medicare certification is listed, whether or not they work with us. No provider pays to be listed, and no provider can pay to move up. Lists are sorted by facts you can check, such as size, Medicare ratings or how long a provider has been licensed.
How we make money, and what we don't do
Where the data comes from
- Assisted living, continuing care and home care licenses: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division and Home Care Services Bureau (rows dated May 25, 2025).
- Nursing homes, home health and hospice: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Care Compare data (processed October 1, 2026).
- Senior apartments: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Section 202 Properties (coverage June 2026).
- Typical costs: CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025, California medians.
- Payment programs: California Department of Health Care Services and the California Department of Aging.
Public records lag behind real life. A home may have closed, changed owners or added beds since the data was published. Always confirm a license with the state and visit before you decide.

Not advice
Later Stages gives information, not medical, legal or financial advice. For decisions about care, talk with the person's doctor, and for benefits, with the agency that runs the program.
