Question 2

What types of senior care facilities can I find on SunsetWell?

Accepted Answer

SunsetWell helps you find nursing homes, assisted living facilities, memory care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies. Nursing home and home health data comes from Medicare.gov (CMS) and is refreshed on a regular cycle; assisted living data comes from state licensing databases, whose update frequency varies by state.

Question 3

Does SunsetWell show which facilities accept Medicare or Medicaid?

Accepted Answer

You can filter facilities by insurance type including Medicare, Medicaid, VA Benefits, and private insurance. Acceptance data is CMS-verified for nursing homes; for assisted living, Medicare does not cover room and board, and Medicaid-waiver or private coverage varies by facility — listings say so explicitly and we recommend confirming with the facility.

Question 4

How do I compare senior care facilities?

Accepted Answer

SunsetWell allows you to select multiple facilities and compare them side-by-side. You can review Medicare star ratings where applicable, available insurance information, distance, and contact details. Call providers directly to confirm current availability and coverage.

Question 5

Is the senior care facility data on SunsetWell accurate?

Nursing home and home health data comes directly from Medicare.gov's official CMS database and is refreshed on a regular cycle.
