SeniorIndex tracks every certified nursing home and home health agency in America — 14,710 skilled nursing facilities and 12,251 home health agencies across all 50 states — and publishes research, data, and analysis on the structure of the post-acute care industry.
The U.S. senior care landscape is one of the most heavily documented sectors in the American economy. Federal and state agencies publish staffing records, inspection results, ownership histories, financial filings, and penalty data — tens of millions of records, refreshed on a continuous basis. Very little of it is assembled, cross-referenced, or made usable for the people who need to understand this industry.
SeniorIndex does that work. We don't generate the underlying data — we interpret it. We aggregate records from their original sources, reconcile inconsistencies across datasets, compute benchmarks and composite scores from documented formulas, and publish the results as research, reference data, and paid reports. Every figure we publish is traceable to a public source.
Our role is description, not advocacy. We cover the industry as the data shows it, and we serve every reader the same figures regardless of their position in the market — operators, agencies, lenders, investors, regulators, researchers, and journalists.
We publish the same data and the same analysis regardless of who reads it. We do not represent any buyer, seller, operator, trade group, or policy position, and we do not tailor findings to the interests of paying customers.
Every figure we publish is traceable to a public federal or state dataset. Our reports name the data layers they draw from and the date each layer was last refreshed.
Our data pipelines run on documented schedules and every publication names its data vintage. When the underlying sources update, our figures update with them.
We describe the industry as the data shows it. We do not lobby, campaign, endorse candidates, or take positions on pending legislation.
A free monthly research brief covering one major development in the U.S. senior care industry. Five-minute read. Published the first Tuesday of every month. Free with email.
Paid facility, state, and multi-state intelligence reports for readers who need deeper analysis than our free research provides. Facility profiles, market analysis, staffing opportunity, and acquisition screening.
Ongoing coverage of the federal and state rules governing post-acute care operations, including enforcement mechanisms, penalty structures, and the current post-repeal environment.
We ingest data directly from primary federal and state sources, normalize identifiers across datasets, reconcile reporting inconsistencies, and compute composite scores from documented formulas. Every report we publish names the data layers it draws from, the date each layer was refreshed, and the known limitations of the underlying sources.
Our composite scores — including the Staffing Opportunity Score and the Stability Score — are built from weighted sub-metrics whose formulas are published in the methodology section of every report that uses them. We do not hide our math.
