Disclaimers

1. General Disclaimers

Not a Healthcare Provider

CuraCare is a directory and informational platform. We are not a healthcare provider, licensed care facility, medical practice, or clinical service. We do not diagnose, treat, or manage any medical condition. Nothing on CuraCare should be interpreted as the practice of medicine or healthcare.

No Medical Advice

The information provided on CuraCare, including content generated by our AI assistant Amica, is for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or care decision.

Information Accuracy

CuraCare aggregates data from public sources including CMS.gov (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and Google Places. While we make every effort to keep information current and accurate, we cannot guarantee that all data displayed is complete, up-to-date, or error-free. Facility details including pricing, availability, services, and ratings may change without notice.

No Endorsement

The listing of any facility on CuraCare does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or referral by CuraCare. We do not evaluate, certify, or inspect facilities. Inclusion in our directory is based on publicly available data, not on any business relationship or payment.

No Guarantee of Quality

CuraCare cannot guarantee the quality of care, safety, or suitability of any facility listed on our platform. Past performance, ratings, and reviews are not guarantees of future quality. We strongly encourage families to conduct their own research, visit facilities in person, and consult with healthcare professionals before making any care decision.

User Responsibility

Families and individuals are solely responsible for their own due diligence when selecting a senior living facility. This includes verifying licensing, inspecting facilities, reviewing contracts, understanding costs, and assessing whether a facility meets their specific care needs. CuraCare provides tools and information to assist in this process but cannot replace personal evaluation.

Third-Party Links

CuraCare may contain links to third-party websites, including facility websites, government resources, and external services. These links are provided for convenience only. CuraCare does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party sites.

2. Data Sources & Accuracy

CMS.gov Data

Facility information including provider details, inspection results, staffing data, quality ratings, and bed counts is sourced from publicly available datasets published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS.gov). This data is updated periodically by CMS and may not reflect the most recent changes at a facility. CuraCare refreshes this data regularly but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy.

Google Places Data

Photos and external ratings displayed on CuraCare may be sourced from the Google Places API. These are provided by Google and its users, not by CuraCare. Google ratings and photos are subject to Google's terms and may differ from CuraCare's own rating methodology. CuraCare does not verify the accuracy of Google-sourced content.

AI-Generated Content

Certain facility summaries, descriptions, and responses from our AI assistant Amica are generated using artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic). While we design these features to be helpful and accurate, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. AI-generated content is clearly labeled where applicable and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any care decision.

Pricing Disclaimer

Prices displayed on CuraCare are estimates based on publicly available information and may not reflect current pricing at any facility. Actual costs vary based on care level, room type, location, and individual needs. Always contact facilities directly for accurate, up-to-date pricing.

Availability Disclaimer

Bed availability and capacity information is based on publicly reported data and may not reflect real-time availability. CuraCare cannot guarantee that any facility has current openings. Contact facilities directly to confirm availability.

Rating Methodology

CuraCare displays ratings from multiple sources including CMS quality ratings and user-submitted reviews. Our platform does not manipulate or weight ratings based on business relationships. Ratings are presented transparently with their sources clearly identified. For a full explanation of our data sources, visit our Data Sources page.

3. Financial Disclaimers

Not Financial Advice

Nothing on CuraCare constitutes financial, tax, or insurance advice. Information about costs, payment options, and financial assistance programs is provided for general informational purposes only. Consult with a qualified financial advisor, elder law attorney, or insurance specialist for advice specific to your situation.

Medicare & Medicaid Information

Information about Medicare and Medicaid coverage, eligibility, and benefits displayed on CuraCare is general in nature and sourced from public CMS data. It is not specific to your individual situation, state of residence, or coverage plan. Eligibility and benefits vary by state, plan, and individual circumstances. Contact Medicare (1-800-MEDICARE), your state Medicaid office, or a benefits counselor for personalized information.

Cost Estimates

All cost estimates, price ranges, and financial comparisons on CuraCare are approximate and provided for planning purposes only. Actual costs depend on many factors including care level, room type, geographic location, additional services, and facility policies. CuraCare does not receive referral fees from facilities listed in our free directory, and listings are not influenced by any financial relationship.

4. Liability Limitations
