The article also provides a very useful research tool when it comes to choosing the right nursing home. Here is that link: https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/search…

You will find that this tool provides ratings for nursing homes based upon staffing, quality measures, and health inspections. While this tool is certainly not exhaustive, it is a very helpful starting point when you are trying to find the right place for your loved one.
