Unfortunately, homes vary greatly in quality, and many don’t have enough nurses and aides to give residents the care they need.
How do I find nursing homes worth considering?
Ask for advice from people designated by your state to help older and disabled people searching for a nursing home.
You can also reach out to your local area agency on aging, a public or nonprofit resource, and your local long-term care ombudsman, who helps residents resolve problems with their nursing home.
Identify your ombudsman through the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, an advocacy group.
