Find the right care for your parent. Without the conflict of interest.
You have days to make a decision you’ve never made before. Ora explains every licensed option in your area — inspection findings, what insurance covers, what you’ll actually pay — in plain language. We’re paid by families, not facilities, so the guidance is honest.

1 deficiency in most recent inspection — documentation issue, no resident-care impact. What this means
Sample result — real data powered by government inspections
You don't know what you don't know
Most families have 3–10 days to figure out a care transition they've never navigated before. You're searching Google while someone you love is waiting on a hospital bed.
The 'free' services aren't neutral
A Place for Mom and Caring.com are paid a commission by every facility they recommend — often equal to one month's rent. They only show you the facilities that pay them.
Insurance is a black box
What does Medicare actually cover? What's the out-of-pocket for a skilled nursing stay? Most families find out after the bill arrives.
How Ora works
Tell us about your parent's situation
Share their location, care needs, and insurance type. Takes about 5 minutes. No account required to see results.
Get the data — and what it actually means
We pull from CMS government data on every Medicare/Medicaid-certified facility. Then we explain it: which inspection findings actually matter, what your parent's insurance covers, what you'll really pay out-of-pocket — in plain English.
Make a confident decision for your loved one
With the right information, you stop second-guessing and start moving forward. Know exactly which facilities to visit, what questions to ask, and why — so you can choose care your parent deserves, without the guilt of wondering if you missed something.
Most eldercare services are paid by providers. We’re paid by you.
That difference shapes every result you see.

“37% of facilities awarded ‘Best of Senior Living’ badges by the leading referral service had significant resident-care violations.”

“I spent two weeks calling nursing homes, getting put on hold, and being handed off to sales people. No one would just tell me what things actually cost or which places had real problems. I didn’t know what questions to ask. I was completely on my own.”
