No. Agewise accepts no payment for placement or ranking. Every retirement home in Oshawa is ranked solely by public, verifiable data — regulatory status, confirmed care levels, and profile completeness. A home cannot improve its rank by paying Agewise, and a competitor cannot pay to have another home moved down.
