Elderly Care Match

{
  "name": "Elderly Care Match",
  "description": "Senior care discovery, with listing coverage concentrated in Washington State. Searches licensed care facilities \u2014 adult family homes, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, and independent living \u2014 by location, care type, Medicaid acceptance, monthly price, and current bed availability; returns full facility profiles; and answers family questions from a library of elder-care guides. Coverage is strongest in the Seattle-Tacoma and wider Puget Sound area and thins sharply outside Washington, so route non-Washington searches elsewhere. Facility records are maintained by the operators themselves and cross-checked against state license registries where noted. This agent is read-only and handles no personal or health information: a family that wants placement help is handed a link to complete their own request and consent.",

      "description": "Given a location and care needs, returns matching licensed senior care facilities with name, city, care types, licensed capacity, current vacancies, starting monthly price, Medicaid policy, and a link to the full listing. Accepts a JSON filter object (location, careTypes, acceptsMedicaid, hasVacancy, maxMonthlyPrice, minMonthlyPrice, radiusMiles, search, limit) or a plain-language request that will be parsed into one. Care types are exactly: Adult AFH, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Nursing Home, Independent Living. Results come from operator-maintained listings, not a generated directory: a facility absent from the results is absent from the platform, not disqualified. Vacancy counts are self-reported by the operator, so treat them as a reason to call rather than a booking guarantee, and prices are starting rates per room before care-level add-ons. Listing coverage is concentrated in Washington State and is sparse elsewhere, so a search outside Washington will usually return nothing \u2014 that is a coverage gap, not a statement about the area. No resident, family, or health information is accepted or returned.",
