A good nursing home smells good because it removes the source of odor instead of covering it up. Taste the food. If the food is hot, fresh, and delicious, the facility is buying the best food available. Preparation of the food is important and easy to measure. The meat should be tender, the milk cold, the vegetables firm, and the bread soft and fresh.
Any nursing home can serve plain food.
An excellent nursing home serves food fit for your own family. Touch the furniture, the bedrails, and the linen. A good nursing home pays close attention to dusting, polishing, and washing. Furniture feels clean and is free from stains or stuck on grime. The bedrails are highly polished.
