How a page is made

  1. Research: we read the state Medicaid, aging agency, VA, Medicare, or USA.gov page for the program.
  2. Writing: we summarize the rules in plain language and add an inline citation to each fact.
  3. Review: each page is checked against the cited official sources before it goes live, and the verified date is updated.
  4. Translation: Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tagalog pages are translated from English and keep official program names in English.
  5. Updates: we re-check pages on a schedule and when a reader reports an error.

Independence and money

We are not a government agency. Today we earn nothing from this site. If we later work with home care agencies, we will label it clearly on every page where it happens, and it will not change program facts.

Use of tools

We use software, including AI tools, to help draft and translate. A person on our team checks program facts against the official source before publishing.
