How to Choose
Selecting a nursing home is one of the most important and difficult decisions that you may be asked to make. Take time and plan ahead. But most importantly, make a personal visit before you make your final decision. Gather information and ask your physician, friends and clergy for recommendations. When it comes to selecting a nursing home a personal experience is the best indicator of the care provided.
