The record for where Europe grows old.

The Senior Living Council gathers, verifies and publishes intelligence about senior living in Europe — who operates the homes, what they offer, what they cost, and whether the technology sold to them does what it claims.

Two accounts of the same place, kept apart

A care home can be described by the people who live in it and by an analyst who examines it, and those are not the same claim. The Council publishes both, in two colours, and never averages them into one number — because the moment they blend, neither can be trusted.

What the Council assesses

Published on the Council's own evidence.

Facility and technology scorecards built by analysts against a published methodology, with a citation behind every claim. Subject-matter experts hold a strong vote: an assessment that turns on validation, adoption, healthspan or joyful living cannot publish without one. This stream never depends on an operator's permission, which is what makes it worth reading.

No facility carries a Council score yet. Scoring begins as the verification queue is worked through, and the database refuses to attach a score to a facility that has not been through it.

What residents and families report

Commissioned by the operator, published with their consent.

Care operators run the opinion survey across their own residents and families using the Council's instrument — fixed core questions, the operator's own additions, tokenised links and no respondent account. The operator sees the results first and decides whether they are published. Only anonymised aggregates are ever shown, never an individual answer.

The response count and the number of excluded answers are printed beside every score, and a facility that withholds consent shows an honest "no published feedback" rather than a blank or a zero.

How each one is produced, and what it does not tell you, is set out in the methodology.

Rankings and ratings are never for sale.

Money buys presentation, analytics, reach and data access — never position. The family's side of the platform is free, permanently, and so is the survey tool every operator uses to collect resident feedback: charging for it would gate the Council's own data supply and hand a paying operator a signal an unpaid one lacks.

The Council is structured to earn revenue and to put the surplus back into the intelligence. Nothing is being sold today: no paid tier, no placement fee and no sponsored position exists on the platform.

33,064 European care facilities published, drawn from OpenStreetMap and each facility's own website, each with its sources kept None of them carries a Council score yet. Every published facility is marked as listed from public sources and not yet Council-verified, and the database will not attach a score to a facility that has not been through verification.

Senior Living Intelligence

The Council's public platform. Families search by location, care level, price band and the services a home actually offers, compare homes side by side, and read what the Council and residents each report — without an account, and without being handed to a referral broker.

Operators can find their own listing and correct it without registering for anything.
