AdultCareMap.com is a senior housing and care marketing and information service dedicated to assisting families in finding suitable senior housing and care solutions. Our services provide resources and personalized support tailored to a loved one’s specific needs and preferences, empowering families to make well-informed decisions. Options may include independent living, home care, residential care homes, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Based on the family’s stated needs and preferences, we offer information about contracted communities (“Participating Communities”) and share the family’s details with these communities. Families can explore comprehensive information about local and national Participating Communities and receive personalized, expert guidance over the phone from an AdultCareMap.com Senior Living Advisor. Our service is free for families, as Participating Communities pay a fee to AdultCareMap.com.
1) PARTICIPATING SENIOR HOUSING AND/OR CARE COMMUNITIES
Participating Communities are exclusively responsible for assessing, admitting (or declining), and providing care to all residents. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring their staff are properly qualified, up-to-date on required training, and equipped with the facilities, resources, and tools necessary to deliver competent care and services. Each Participating Community is accountable for the conditions within its community and for the training, actions, and any omissions of its employees, contractors, vendors, and all other individuals working for or within the community.
Each Participating Community is responsible for the content of the information posted on its page or on the Sites. The information does not represent our views or any individual associated with us, and we do not control this content. We do not vouch for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information posted by and/or for the Participating Community on the Sites, and do not take any responsibility or assume any liability for any actions you may take as a result of reading the information posted by and/or for the Participating Community on the Sites.

3) NO ENDORSEMENT; NO AFFILIATION; NOT A BROKER

Our role is solely to provide an informational service and does not include (1) placing consumers in any Participating Community, (2) conducting medical assessments for consumers or Participating Communities, or (3) being involved in decisions about final selection or admittance. Additionally, we do not act as a representative or agent for either the consumer or the Participating Community and do not operate on behalf of either party. The responsibility for determining whether a potential resident is suitable for admission lies entirely with the Participating Community, the potential resident, and/or their family, care providers, or other involved parties. AdultCareMap.com does not broker, sell, or lease space directly and is not a party to any agreements or transactions between providers and families.

19) GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM SELECTION
Any dispute arising from your use of the Site or Services will be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except where preempted by U.S. federal law, and without regard to any conflict of law principles (whether of California or another jurisdiction) that would require the application of laws from another jurisdiction. Any disputes not subject to arbitration or small claims court jurisdiction will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Solano County, California.
20) CLAIMS SUBJECT TO MANDATORY AND BINDING ARBITRATION, CLASS WAIVER, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
Please read the following important section carefully.
Except for small claims disputes or claims involving intellectual property, both you and we waive the right to a jury trial and to resolve disputes in court. Instead, any disputes related to the Sites or Services must be submitted to binding arbitration administered by JAMS, governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. The latest version of the JAMS Rules, available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-download, is incorporated by reference into this agreement.
You and we agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only and not through class arbitration, class actions, or other representative proceedings.
Arbitration Fees
- If you initiate arbitration, you will be responsible for the filing fee, and each party will pay their respective JAMS fees.
- If we initiate arbitration, we will cover all JAMS fees and costs.
- You are entitled to request an in-person hearing in your hometown area.
Opting Out of Arbitration
You may opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of accepting these terms by sending an email to info@AdultCareMap.com. The opt-out notice must include your full name, address, and a clear statement of your intent to opt out of arbitration. Opting out means disputes will be resolved under the “Governing Law and Forum Selection” section.
Severability
If any part of this arbitration agreement is deemed unenforceable or unlawful:
- That provision will be severed, and the remaining parts of this section will remain enforceable.
- Claims requiring class, collective, consolidated, or representative actions must proceed in civil court and not arbitration, with litigation stayed pending resolution of individual claims in arbitration.
- If a provision prohibits an individual claim for public injunctive relief, it will not affect the enforcement of the rest of this section, and such claims may proceed outside arbitration to the extent allowed by law.
This ensures that arbitration remains enforceable and effective to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
