## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## A Place for Mom Scraper – Senior Living Communities & Pricing Data

Scrape **A Place for Mom** senior-living communities by city, ZIP, state or care type. Get operator and brand, address, phone, care types, starting prices, room types, amenities, ratings, reviews, photos, availability and licensing notes. **$0.95 per 1,000 communities.**

### Map Senior-Living Supply, Pricing And Care Types

A Place for Mom lists thousands of senior-living communities across the US. This Actor turns public community pages into structured records for operators, advisors, investors and researchers.

- **Market mapping** — count communities and care types by city or ZIP.
- **Pricing research** — compare starting rates and room-type pricing.
- **Competitive analysis** — track amenities, ratings and availability.
- **Senior-living lead research** — build operator and community lists for outreach.

### How It Works

![How the A Place for Mom Scraper works: from a local senior-living search to structured community records.](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/oeuA0kLOyhbRM4fzt/records/how-it-works-aplaceformom-scraper.webp)

The Actor searches public A Place for Mom communities for each location you provide, then optionally opens each community for detail data. Every community becomes one row with pricing, care types, reviews and availability.

- Search by city, `City, ST`, ZIP or state.
- Add direct community URLs or IDs when you already know the property.
- Detail enrichment adds reviews, fees, floor plans and provider stats.

### Scrape Communities By City, ZIP Or Care Type

Provide one or more locations and optionally restrict the care type:

- Assisted living
- Independent living
- Memory care
- Nursing home
- Senior apartments
- Home care
- Care homes

Use `maxCommunitiesPerLocation` to control depth. The Actor caps each run at 500 communities.

### Pricing, Reviews, Availability And Licensing

Each record includes the community name, operator, brand, address, phone and website. Pricing covers starting-at rates, room-type ranges, available units and published fees. Reviews include recent ratings and sub-ratings when available.

- Care types and normalized care flags
- Room types, amenities and key amenities
- Overall rating, review count and top review
- Photos and floor-plan count
- Availability, capacity and opening dates
- State license number, expiration and Medicare provider number

### FAQ

#### What is A Place for Mom?

A Place for Mom is a senior-living referral and directory service. Its public community pages list care types, amenities, pricing guidance, reviews and availability.

#### Do I need an account?

No. The Actor reads public community information and does not require an A Place for Mom account or login.

#### Why is starting price missing?

Some communities do not publish rates. In that case `pricing.startingAt` stays `null`; room-type ranges may still be available.

#### Are reviews complete?

The Actor returns the most recent reviews up to `maxReviewsPerCommunity`. `ratings.reviewCount` gives the total number of reviews shown on the community page.

#### Can I scrape a specific community?

Yes. Add its A Place for Mom URL to `locations` or `communityUrls`, or use its numeric community ID.

#### How many communities can I get?

Up to **500** per run. Free Apify users get a 10-community preview.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
