[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 103580, member: 1514"] Jo... Dont just accept blindly what this other person said that the other places arent as good. I realize that your mom isnt a nursing home patient at this time but when I was researching nursing homes for my mom, I found out that some of the nicest and best nursing homes were those that accepted medicare and medicaid assignments! Just because a place is "for profit" doesnt necessarily make it a better placement. You can search the states websites for senior citizen information and find the listings of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and the grades that they have been given by the licensing committees. Check out staff turnover, nursing ratios, things like that. You may have to dig around on the website to find this info but its there. Look for places that accept both medicare and medicaid and make your list from there. They may have links to see the places online. Or just write down the name and do a google search. That isnt a bad idea either to see if they have been in the news for any reason. [/QUOTE]
