Terms of Use

Effective September 13, 2026.

By using ellerycare.com (the “site”) you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Educational information, not advice

Everything on Ellery Care is educational information only, and is not medical, legal, or financial advice. Star ratings and quality data shown are the U.S. government’s own (CMS) records; we do not rate, endorse, or recommend any care facility. Data can change and may contain errors from the source, so verify anything important directly with the facility, CMS, or a licensed professional before making a decision.

Our independence

We accept no payment from any care facility. No facility can pay to be listed, rated higher, ranked, or have its violations hidden.

Affiliate links and paid guides

Some links to consumer products earn us a commission at no extra cost to you, and these are always labeled. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We also sell our own plain-English educational guides; these are educational and are not legal or financial advice, and are delivered by email after purchase. If you have a problem with a purchase, email us and we’ll make it right.

Accuracy and no warranty

We build on public data from CMS and other government sources and work to keep it current (retrieval dates are shown on report cards), but the site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, and we can’t guarantee it is complete, accurate, or up to date at every moment.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ellery Care is not liable for any decision made, or any loss or harm arising, from your use of the site or reliance on its information. Care decisions are yours to make with appropriate professional guidance.

Content

The site’s original content and design are owned by Ellery Care and are for your personal, non-commercial use. Government data reproduced here remains public information.

Changes

We may update these terms; the effective date above will change when we do.
