Does anyone know a website I can find honest reviews for senior service providers such as assisted living facilities? I found one site called caregrade.com, but there were not that many reviews for my area.

Welcome to A2K.
For what area are you seeking information?
Information on how to find quality providers. I am looking for either assisted living or home care

What country are you in? U.S.? Canada? Australia? Great Britain? Somewhere in Europe?
What part of that country do you need information for?
I am in US. Looking for NJ or NY areas
As far as I know there aren't reliable regional lists of Nursing Homes. Remember, ownership and conditions in Nursing Homes can change overnight. Have you checked with your local Agency for Aging? They might be able to suggest (rather than recommend) places for you to investigate.
You can find Nursing Homes in your immediate area through the Yellow Pages, but I'd recommend vetting them personally.
Good luck.
I am looking more for assisted living rather than NH.

Good luck. You have a lot of leg work ahead of you.
