Whilst putting a loved one in a nursing home is a horrible decision, there may come a period when it is the right one. It will help should you choose your homework and trust your instincts.

Things A person Need to Know
The nursing home is a residence that provides room, meals, nursing and rehabilitative care, medical services and protective supervision to its residents. While someone approaching from the hospital may require the services of many long-term care professionals such as nurses, therapists and social workers, a nursing home is not a hospital (acute care) setting. The goal at a nursing home is to help people maintain because their independent operating as you possibly can in a encouraging environment.
Choosing a Facility
One of the first things to consider when making a nursing home choice is the needs of the individual for whom you’re providing care. Make a directory of the special proper care they need, such as dementia care or various types of therapy.
If the person is hospitalized, the discharge planner and/or social personnel will help you in assessing the needs of the individual and finding the appropriate facility.
In case you are choosing a nursing facility for someone who is presently at home, ask for referrals from your physician, Location Agency on Aging, friends, and family.
Other factors such as location, cost, the quality of care, services, size, religious and cultural preferences, and accommodations for special care must be considered.
When you’ve located a few facilities that you’d like to consider more thoroughly, plan on visiting each one of these, both with scheduled and unscheduled appointments, and at different times and on different days of the week.
As you are travelling, take note of what you hear and don’t hear. Is usually it silent? Is there activity? How clean does it look? Are the residents dressed appropriately for the season? Most importantly, find out the ratio of nurses to residents is and what is the staff turnover rate?
