Keep in mind that a high rating is no guarantee of good care, and a low rating is not an assurance of poor care. In addition to looking online, the following options may be beneficial in determining the right nursing home for you or your loved one:
Visit the nursing home and take a tour of the facility;
Speak with the department heads of the nursing home, including the director of nursing and administrator; and
Talk to staff about your questions and concerns.
If your loved one suffers from any of the below conditions, it may be a sign that they are being mistreated:
A sharp and sudden decline in mental or physical ability
