Find care
Project Kos Directory

Find care without guessing.
Compare the signals that matter.

This page is designed to help someone quickly understand their nearby care options, using public quality data where available and Google profile context where appropriate.

It does not recommend a provider. It helps people see what to verify next: ratings, staffing, distance, inspection flags, reviews, and whether the provider fits their situation.

Try lowering the rating filters or increasing the search radius. Some regulated providers may have CMS data but limited Google review data.

Methodology

What this page should never pretend

This keeps Project Kos credible. The page can organize public information, but it should not tell someone where they should receive care.

CMS data should be treated as the regulated source. For facilities like SNFs, hospitals, home health, and hospice, CMS is the right place for quality ratings, inspection history, staffing, and ownership-related signals.

Google data should be treated as lived-experience context. Reviews can expose communication, cleanliness, responsiveness, access, and general consumer sentiment, but reviews are not clinical quality data.

The safest UX is “verify next,” not “choose this.” Every card should lead to questions to ask, documents to request, and links to official profiles when possible.

This page should not say “best,” “recommended,” “preferred,” or “top provider.” Those words create trust and legal problems, especially if the dataset is incomplete or if a provider’s quality changed after the last refresh.

A better phrase is: “Strong public signals” or “Worth verifying.” That keeps the site educational and transparent.

Before relying on any provider, the user should call and ask whether they accept the person’s specific insurance, whether they have availability, whether they provide the exact service needed, and what documents are required before admission or scheduling.

For SNF placement, they should also ask whether the facility has an available bed, whether the therapy team can meet the patient’s needs, whether the plan requires prior authorization, and whether the hospital discharge planner has already sent the referral.

Important: Project Kos provides educational information based on public sources and user-selected filters. This page does not provide medical advice, legal advice, insurance advice, or provider recommendations. Provider information changes frequently. Always verify network participation, availability, services, cost-sharing, and clinical fit directly with the provider, your insurer, or a qualified professional before making a care decision.

Intended data sources: CMS Provider Data API for regulated provider quality data; Google Maps / Places APIs for public profile context, location, reviews, hours, and contact information; state Medicaid and licensing sources where applicable.

Update cadence recommendation: Refresh CMS-linked provider data at least monthly and Google profile data on-demand when the user searches. Store timestamps visibly so users know whether data is fresh.
