Why there are no 55+ communities listed yet

Unlike care homes, 55+ communities and active adult buildings don't need a state license, so no official list exists. We are building one by hand and will list every community for free, with no paid placement. Run one in California? Email hello@laterstages.com with its name, address and age rules.
