What do I look for?
When choosing a nursing home, it’s important to focus on the individual’s needs, such as assistance with daily tasks, medical care, and social engagement. Key factors to look for include staff interactions, cleanliness, and the facility’s overall atmosphere. Asking about services, activities, costs, and how the facility handles changes in care needs is essential. Trusting instincts about whether the environment feels safe and comfortable is also crucial in making the right choice.

What do I do next?
1. Do your research
To find a good nursing home, start by identifying facilities that meet your loved one’s needs and are conveniently located. Research online for reviews, ratings, and state inspection reports. Read through their website to see all the services they offer to see if it would be a good potential fit.
2. Discuss with your family
It’s essential to discuss the decision with your family member. Honest communication helps ensure their needs and concerns are addressed. Talk about their daily challenges, the type of support they require, and the benefits of assisted living.
3. Schedule a call
When calling a potential nursing home, ask about the types of care they provide, staff-to-resident ratios, and how they handle medical emergencies. Inquire about the facility’s licensing, recent inspection results, and any specialized services, such as memory care or rehabilitation. Ask about daily routines, activities, and meal options to ensure they match your loved one’s needs and preferences. Discuss costs, payment options, and whether they accept Medicare or Medicaid.
4. Schedule a visit
If possible involve your loved one when visiting. This collaborative approach not only respects their autonomy but also ensures the decision feels right for everyone involved. When visiting assess cleanliness, staff attentiveness, and resident well-being. Speak with current residents or their families if possible, and trust your instincts to ensure the facility feels like a safe, supportive environment.
