Good questions to ask regarding the nursing homes are:
You can review the state surveys of each home that you have an interest in because Medicare and Medicaid facilities are required by law to let you see their survey reports. By visiting the nursing homes more than once it will allow you to notice things you may not have noticed previously. By going during the week and also during the weekend, as well as eating a few meals there, you can get a good sense of what living conditions exist at that particular nursing home.
You should be aware of how the staff treats all the residents with friendliness, patience, and respect, and promptly answering calls for assistance. Are the residents participating in a variety of activities, including physically? Check the food to see if it is well balanced, varied, and good tasting and served in pleasant conditions. The nursing home should appear lived in and residents should be able to personalize and use decorations from home.
Signs to look for that may indicate improper care at a nursing home include strong smells of urine and feces, vests and other devices that tie or hold people down in their beds, lack of privacy, lack of dignity, unanswered calls for help, inactivity and loneliness, and lack of help with eating.
