How to Choose a Nursing Home: A Guide to Quality Caring

This comprehensive guide, written by a geriatric nurse with over fifteen years experience in long-term care, will help you select a home that will give your loved one both quality care and a place to live with dignity.

It will answer such questions as:

* What kind of care does your relative need?

* What is the cost of care and who will pay the bill?

* What are the qualities to look for in a good nursing home?

* How can you recognize a substandard facility?

* What are the qualifications for Medicaid and Medicare?

* Where can you get further information on financial assistance?

* What can you do if your relative is unwilling to go to a nursing home?

* What should you do if you find the care to be inadequate, uncaring, or in violation of state or federal law?

Excellent straight forward guide. It's not easy taking this difficult step for one or both of your parents nor will they necessarily agree with you. This specialist author has evidentally seen it all and knows of all those sensitivities in dealing with a parent while providing a helpful guide, from an "insiders" point of view, on what to look for and what to watch out for. All the homes are businesses first and foremost to make money. Care of an elderly "customer", so to speak, that may not be around to complain in a couple of years or worse doesn't even have the speech facility to complain, puts these homes in the driver's seat. I appreciated this "insiders" guide with how to see through all that and make the right choice.
