Methodology

About this data

How the figures on this page are built. Each number links to its source below.

Listings come from MassGIS (Long-term care residences (ALR, rest homes, nursing homes)), Oct 17, 2026.¹ A listing appears under the city on its license or certification address.
Adults 65+ is the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate for Lowell (Census place). Census boundaries can differ from the mailing-address city used for listings, so per-1,000 figures are a guide, not a precise rate.¹¹
Distances are straight-line miles from the center of Lowell (U.S. Census Bureau place center). “Nearby” means within 25 miles and can include other states.
Agency contacts come from each program’s own directory and are checked when we rebuild the data. WeFoundCare does not rate or rank communities.
