Finding a Nursing Home: Planning and Visiting Tips
Plan ahead with alternatives such as home care and community services before choosing a nursing home. Check Medicaid and Medicare participation, understand facility levels from intermediate to extended care, and visit unannounced with attention to administrator and staff during mealtime.
BBB Guide to Choosing a Nursing Home
The Better Business Bureau offers questions to assess nursing homes before choosing one. Check licenses, dietary needs, daily charges, staff, rehabilitation services, room sharing, staff-patient interaction, privacy, cleanliness, fire safety, food quality, activities, civil rights, and how promotions reflect true conditions. Seek local welfare, Social Security offices, medical societies, and BBB resources for Medicare and Medicaid qualification details.
