What should I consider when locating a nursing home?

September 20, 2009 by admin

Location is very important. If you choose a nursing home that is close to your friends and family, they may be able to visit you more often and you may feel less lonely. Also, they can act as your advocate (supporter), if you need one. Another important thing you can do is visit the nursing home you are interested in and talk with current or former residents and their family members to see if they are happy with the care they received from the nursing home.
