Before choosing a long term care facility, consider all the key points. Visit as often as necessary to decide if this is the right facility. Observe the conditions in the home, residents, and staff. Because a nursing home can be someone's final home, it's very important to choose a place where he or she can be happy and function as fully as possible.
