CareLedger puts official facility, ownership, inspection, staffing, and penalty records in one place. You can check the record and plan your questions without giving a referral service your phone number.

Take it one step at a time

You do not have to sort through every record in one sitting

Start with the places your family is actually considering. Check the basic record, write down what is missing, and take those questions with you when you visit.

What goes into a record

How we build each record

CareLedger organizes public information for families, advocates, and professionals. We show where each record came from, when it was retrieved, and what it may be missing.

Read the full methodology
Match the right facilityWe match names and addresses to agency identifiers.
Keep the dates and sourcesThe agency, source URL, processing date, and retrieval date stay with the record.
Use the same fields across statesWe map common fields while keeping the source terminology, flags, and missing values.
Keep reviews separateOfficial source data remains separate from clarifications and human review notes.

Optional research reports

Reports for a longer shortlist

The directory stays free. A paid report can organize a timeline, compare a shortlist, and list questions to take on a tour. It is there if you would rather not sort the records yourself.
