How Do You Check Out A Nursing Facility ?

Everyone wants to know. How do you check a Nursing Home.
After all we want to be sure to put Mom or dad somewhere safe.
Well, the very first thing is to visit and I do not mean the sugar coated tour that is all fuzzy and warm with the administrator just gushing!
I mean go late in the evening about 6:00 P.M.  and say you want to look around cause you have to place aunt Bertie. Take your time and mosey along. Don't let them rush you.
Next check the site Nursing home compare.com and see how many gigs they got on surveys and have they corrected them? Next check the county courthouse how many times have they been sued. then go to the attorney General site for your state and look under businesses and find out who really owns the joint. You will need this later.
While you were at the Home ask for a copy of the admission agreement so you can let your brother in Alaska know what it says more or less. ( this will give you a chance to see if there is a clause in it that says you cannot sue them for any reason and you agree to arbitration. It also tells you who the management company is. so you can find out where it is from and how many times they have been prosecuted or sued.
All this info will not do you much good because they are pretty much all the same.  Now if you place your family member in one of these places it is all your fault when they die prematurely, because after all you signed the clause.
I am telling you all this because you need to see just how crooked every Nursing Facility actually is.
