How do you choose a nursing home?
Finding the right nursing home can help you feel safe and cared for.
As you look at the choices, pay special attention to:
- How each one feels to you.
-
Does it feel right? Is the nursing home clean and odor-free? Do the residents seem clean and comfortable?
- The levels of nursing care it provides.
-
Is 24-hour nursing care available? Does the nursing home provide enough help with daily tasks?
- The staff.
-
Does the nursing home have adequate, qualified staff? Does the nursing home staff have experience caring for people with your unique needs?
- The cost of each nursing home.
-
How will you pay for your stay? Price can change depending on the nursing home and the type of care offered.
- Where it's located.
-
Is it close by and easy for family or friends to visit?
