}About the aplaceformom.com API
This API exposes 4 endpoints covering senior care facility data from A Place for Mom, including search by location and care type, detailed facility profiles, resident reviews, and state-level city listings. The get_facility_details endpoint returns structured fields like geo coordinates, amenities, aggregate ratings, pricing details, and nearby communities — all keyed by facility slug from search results.
Search and Discovery
The search_facilities endpoint accepts a location either as a query string in 'City, ST' format or as separate city and state parameters, plus an optional care_type slug (assisted-living, memory-care, independent-living, home-care). Results are paginated; each page returns an array of facility objects with name, slug, and url, alongside has_next_page to drive iteration. The slug values from this endpoint are the key input for the detail and review endpoints.
Facility Details and Amenities
The get_facility_details endpoint takes a facility slug and returns a full profile: name, description, telephone, a structured address object (streetAddress, addressLocality, addressRegion, postalCode), geo coordinates, an amenities_list array, and an aggregateRating object with ratingValue, reviewCount, and rating bounds. A pricing_details object is included when pricing data is publicly available on the facility page — this field may be empty for facilities that gate pricing behind a contact form. The response also includes a nearby_communities array with names and slugs for adjacent facilities.
Reviews and State Overviews
The get_facility_reviews endpoint returns up to 20 of the most recent reviews for a given facility slug, each with content, date, author, and rating, plus an aggregateRating summary. For broader geographic research, get_state_overview accepts a state name or two-letter abbreviation and an optional care_type, returning a cities array with name, slug, and url for every city in that state with matching facilities. The assisted-living care type has the widest city coverage; other care types may return fewer cities.

Does A Place for Mom have an official developer API?+
Is pricing data always available in `get_facility_details`?+
pricing_details object is populated when pricing is publicly visible on the facility's page. For many facilities, A Place for Mom gates pricing behind a contact or inquiry form, so the field will be empty in those cases. The rest of the detail response — address, amenities, ratings, geo — is unaffected.How many reviews does `get_facility_reviews` return?+
aggregateRating object that reflects the full review count (reviewCount). If a facility has more than 20 reviews, older reviews beyond that window are not included in the response. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to adjust the review retrieval depth if you need broader review coverage.Can I retrieve a list of all facilities in a state rather than searching city by city?+
get_state_overview returns a list of cities with facilities in a given state, and search_facilities operates at the city level. There is no single endpoint that returns all facilities for an entire state in one call. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a state-wide facility aggregation endpoint that iterates over the cities from get_state_overview.Does the search support filtering by specific amenities or ratings thresholds?+
search_facilities endpoint supports filtering by care_type and location only. Filtering by amenities, minimum rating, or price range is not exposed as a parameter. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add client-side filtering logic against the fields returned by get_facility_details.
