Methodology
Every figure is computed from the senior-living communities listed on Senior Care Path in Waterloo as of September 2026. Ratings and review counts come from Google. The Confidence Score is our own 12-signal, 100-point trust rating (see how we calculate it). The median starting price uses only the communities that publish a monthly rate within a plausible band, so it reflects starting rates where published, not an all-in average. This is a snapshot of our directory, not a census of every home in the city.
