About SeniorLiving.wiki

SeniorLiving.wiki is a free, encyclopedia-style reference on senior living options, costs and care decisions, published by Local Blitz. It summarizes information from government agencies, state regulators and published surveys, and cites every figure to its source with the data year.

What the site covers

• The main types of senior living and how they differ.
• Costs and how to pay, including Medicare, Medicaid and Medi-Cal and VA benefits.
• Practical guides: how to choose, signs it may be time to move and a caregiver guide.
• California licensing and San Diego resources.

How pages are written

Each page opens with a two-to-three sentence answer, followed by definitions, comparison tables, a short FAQ and a numbered source list. Statistics come only from identifiable sources such as the National Institute on Aging, Medicare.gov, the California Department of Social Services, the CDC and the CareScout Cost of Care Survey. See Sources and methodology.
