Choosing a nursing home for your loved one?

Assessment / Monitoring Issues

When you are deciding on a nursing home, remember that safety and quality care are key.

Here are 5 tips to help you select a safe, trustworthy facility:

1.) Ask About Staffing: Find out the staff-to-resident ratio and how caregivers are trained to handle medical and emotional needs.

2.) Research Ratings and Reviews: Check state inspection reports and online reviews. Look for facilities with strong safety and care ratings.

3.) Review Safety Policies: Ask about emergency procedures, fall prevention measures, and how they handle complaints

4.) Visit the Facility: Tour the nursing home in person. Observe cleanliness, staff interactions, and how residents are treated.

5️.) Trust Your Gut: If something feels off—such as residents seeming neglected or staff avoiding questions—it’s worth exploring other options.

Pro Tip: Bring a checklist during your visit to ensure no detail is forgotten.

If you suspect neglect or abuse in a nursing home, don’t wait to report this and get legal guidance. Contact JJustice For Our Parents(J4OP) at 1-833-JUST-LAW or visit contact us directly on this page right away.
