2 INTRODUCTION The decision about which nursing home or elder care facility would be the best fit for a loved one can be very difficult and should be made carefully. We advise our clients to take a tour of facilities and become informed about the relative benefits of each nursing home in the area before making a decision. Some things to consider when researching include the type of care that the facility provides, the quality of services, the location of the facility, and the cost of care. If there is a need for Medicaid benefits to pay the costs of care, then it is important to investigate whether the facility accepts Medicaid and if a Medicaid bed will be available. Regardless of the facility chosen, the most effective way to ensure quality of care is to be diligent with checking in on the loved one, asking questions of the staff, and participating in care conferences. The following information has been compiled for the benefit of our clients who must decide on which facility best suits their needs. We have also included information about residential and assisted living facilities. Please note that all of the following information is current as of October, You should contact the facility for the most up-to-date information.
