Due to touring service I always keep way from my house, leaving behind my parents all alone at home. So I decided to place them in a nursing home where they will be more safe & secured. Can anybody help me to search out a good nursing home with best kind of facilities required by them.
Thanks in advance!

Hello and Welcome

I went ahead and re-posted your question on the Caregiver Forum where there is so much more cyber traffic. Lots of folks doing this very thing. Folks with experience in the "before, during, and after placement." As well as others weighing the options.

Hi,
It’s so nice of you to be such a caring son. I think http://www.nursinghomecenters.org/ is the appropriate site from where you can get all required information and take your decision. Hope this help will help you.
Best of luck!

Wait one second here. All representatives of nursing facilities will put on their best face when trying to gain a new admission. I have worked in several for eons. You may wish to go by word of mouth, but personal inspection is the best way to go. Ask to have a tour of the facility, look to see if call lights are responded to, room size, congeniality of the nursing staff...genuine or disingenuous? Ask to meet the attending physician, a dour, expressionless face is synonymous with an I'd rather be somewhere else apathetic attititude, whom your loved one would be placed with and if you think it's a match, how well staffed they are during the midnight shift, parking availability, reasonably close proximity to a hospital ( if necessary ), Rn to LPN staff ratio, nuber of CNA's, activities that are available etc. Check it out yourself and be forarmed when going in. That way, you will personally see the vast differences that lie out there for they are a myriad of facilities worse than purgatory itself. I strongly advise you to do this. This has no reflection on the Alzheimer's Association, just be wise in your selection.
