Why this scraper

A Place for Mom does not offer a public API or data export. This actor turns its directory into clean, structured JSON — including the review scores and family feedback that drive placement decisions — at a fraction of the cost of commercial senior-housing data vendors.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes the live site — you always get current listings, ratings, and reviews.

Can I scrape multiple cities at once? Yes — pass any number of locations; results are deduplicated across cities automatically.

Is this legal? The actor only collects publicly available business information (names, addresses, phones, ratings). No personal data behind logins is accessed.
