Conduct a Nursing Home Facility Tour
According to Yossi Mystel, visiting a nursing home is the easiest way to get an initial sense of the facility and the people who will be caring for your loved one. You can also search for locations near you with available hours and visiting hours at each nursing home facility. Before visiting, try to figure out what type of environment you want your parent or other loved one to be in. If their health condition or their age makes them unusual for a nursing home, you may want to consider another setting. In addition, you may want to see how the staff treats other patients and how they respond to visitors. After visiting a nursing home, you can get a better sense of how your loved one feels about the nursing home and what you can expect from the nursing home.
