About these figures
Computed on September 30, 2026 from the 8 agencies listed in Boston, 80 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
