Nursing and Retirement Home Resources
Here at Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones our friends and clients often ask us if we know of any resources to find out about nursing and retirement homes before they or a family member move into one.
Our involvement with nursing and retirement homes usually takes place after a facility employee abuses a resident or fails to live up to the standard of care residents, their family members, and society expect of them. We have, however, come across a few websites that might be helpful to those selecting a facility in the first place.
We are not affiliated with these websites in any way, we have no control over their content, nor can we assure you that these sites will continue to operate or remain free after this posting. Without further ado:
RetireNet allows you to search for active communities or care facilities either by name or by characteristic. Once you have selected a facility it will tell you the results of their most recent inspections and some general information about the facility.
Nursing Homes Ratings will provide information regarding reports of nursing home abuse and neglect. It is searchable by name or state and county.
Hospital-Data.com stores informative profiles of hospitals, medical clinics and nursing homes. The profiles include in-depth information on services provided as well as the number of staff in the different facilities.
Finally, Medicare’s website, in addition to providing guidance on planning for long-term needs, provides users with the ability to compare hospitals and nursing homes. After clicking on this link, click on “Facilities & Doctors” to access the compare feature.
Hopefully these websites will help you protect yourself and your loved ones. In the unfortunate event that you or a family has been a victim of or suspects nursing home abuse or neglect and have questions, feel free to contact Shawn Cantley directly by clicking here: profile.
