}About the caring.com API
The Caring.com API provides structured access to elder care facility data across three endpoints, returning over 15 response fields per facility including names, addresses, ratings, amenities, capacity, and resident reviews. The search_facilities endpoint lets you query by city, state, and care type to retrieve paginated summaries, while get_facility_detail and get_facility_reviews return full profiles and review arrays for any individual facility slug.
Searching Facilities
The search_facilities endpoint accepts optional city, state, and type parameters — all as URL slugs — and returns a paginated response containing an items array and a total count. Each item includes the facility name, full address fields (city, state, zip), rating, review_count, starting_price, supported care_types, and a slug for use in detail lookups. Supported type values include assisted-living, memory-care, and nursing-homes.
Facility Detail
The get_facility_detail endpoint accepts a slug path in the form /senior-living/{state}/{city}/{facility-name} and returns a full facility profile. The response includes structured address data with latitude and longitude, a phone number, an HTML description, a capacity integer, a verified boolean indicating enhanced listing status, and an amenities object that maps category names to arrays of specific services or features. The reviews array on this endpoint includes each review's author, date, rating, text, and type.
Reviews Endpoint
The get_facility_reviews endpoint takes the same slug format and returns only the facility name and its reviews array. This is useful when you need review data without the overhead of the full detail payload. Review objects include author, date, rating, text, and type fields, allowing you to analyze sentiment, filter by rating, or track review volume over time.
Coverage and Data Shape
All three endpoints reflect US-based listings on Caring.com. Geographic filtering in search_facilities operates at the city and state level; there is no ZIP code or radius-based search parameter in the current endpoint set. Facility slugs obtained from search results can be passed directly into the detail or reviews endpoints without further transformation.
- Build a senior care directory app filtered by care type (assisted-living, memory-care, nursing-homes) and location.
- Aggregate starting_price and rating data across facilities in a region to benchmark elder care costs.
- Pull the amenities object from get_facility_detail to compare service offerings across shortlisted facilities.
- Monitor review_count and rating changes over time to detect shifts in facility reputation.
- Extract latitude and longitude from address objects to plot facilities on a map.
- Use the verified flag from get_facility_detail to surface enhanced listings separately in search results.
- Compile review text and ratings from get_facility_reviews for sentiment analysis on senior care providers.
