How it works

Simple, honest, and designed for real decisions.

Reserve is built for two audiences: families looking for care, and facilities that want to be found. Here's exactly how it works for each.

For families

Finding the right home

01

Search by location

Enter a ZIP code, city, or county name. You can also use your current location. The map shows every licensed assisted living facility nearby.

02

Filter what matters to you

Narrow results by capacity, facility size, inspection history, and more. Every filter updates the map in real time — no waiting for page reloads.

03

Explore individual facilities

Click any pin to see capacity, contact information, and licensing details. Facilities that have claimed their listing may also show current vacancy.

04

Reach out directly

Call or email the facility yourself — no referral service in between. There are no fees, no commissions, and no one profiting from your choice.

For facilities

Claiming and managing your listing

01

Your listing already exists

Every licensed California assisted living facility is already in the Reserve directory, sourced from official public state licensing records. You don't need to create a listing from scratch.

02

Claim it for free

Submit your details and verify your association with the facility. During our beta, claiming is completely free — no credit card, no subscription.

03

Keep your information current

Update your contact information, add a description, and — most importantly for families — indicate current vacancy so families know whether you have openings.

04

Connect with families directly

Families contact you directly from your listing. No lead fees, no referral commissions. The relationship starts with you.
