Nursing home: Decide on your list of priorities. Quality, staffing, cleanliness, cost, physician, nurse practitioner, is hospice available, activities, types of rooms, etc. Ask for a tour of the facility. Go online to cms.Gov to look for a comparison of the quality measures for the facilities that you are considering. Talk directly with residents and their children about their experiences.
