ClearPath analyzes federal inspection records, staffing data, and quality measures for every qualifying facility near you — and delivers a plain-English ranked report in minutes.
The Reality
The data families need exists — it's collected by the federal government and updated every month. But it's buried in spreadsheets, PDFs, and regulatory databases that were designed for inspectors, not families.
Federal inspection reports, staffing ratios, deficiency histories, and civil monetary penalties are all public record. But locating, downloading, and interpreting them across multiple facilities is a part-time job that most families don't know they're signing up for.
Senior placement advisors are paid referral fees by the facilities they recommend — typically one to two months of your loved one's rent. That's a structural conflict of interest that influences which facilities they show you, whether they intend it to or not.
A clean lobby and a friendly admissions director tell you almost nothing about how a facility performs on the measures that predict quality of care: inspection history, nurse staffing levels, CNA turnover, and repeat deficiency patterns.
The Process
ClearPath does the research that used to take families a week — and delivers it as a ranked, plain-English report tailored to your specific situation.
Our guided intake form asks about care needs, location, veteran status, and priorities. No phone call required. No sales pitch. Just the information we need to run the right analysis.

Who ClearPath Serves
Whether you're researching for a parent, a spouse, or planning ahead for yourself — ClearPath's intake form and report are designed to work for both.
You're facing one of the most consequential decisions a family makes — often under time pressure, with incomplete information, and while managing everything else. ClearPath gives you the independent analysis you need to feel confident in your choice.
More adults are taking an active role in planning their own future care — before a health event forces the decision. ClearPath's report gives you the same complete picture of local facilities, so you can evaluate options clearly and on your own terms.
Our Model
Most senior care advisory services are free because the facilities they recommend pay them a referral fee — often one to two months of rent — when a family chooses a facility through them. That fee comes out of what you or your loved one pays for care.
ClearPath charges the family directly and accepts zero payments from facilities. Every qualifying facility that passes our quality screen appears in your report — including those that never pay referral fees to anyone. That's the only way independent analysis can actually be independent.
What Most Placement Agencies Don't Tell You: Many excellent non-profit and independent facilities choose not to pay referral fees — so they never appear in referral-based recommendations, regardless of quality. ClearPath pulls from federal records, not contracted networks. Every qualifying facility in your area appears in your results.
