Homes Choosing a nursing home is one of the most important decisions a person makes.
Nursing homes are also known as Residential Care Homes. The institution must adhere to strict standards for licensing, though a licensed nurse is not required. In selecting a facility, it is in a person's best interest to explore what is desired by the family. This can be a accomplished by asking questions and visiting care facilities. Information that can be of help in the decision-making process, and in answering the myriad of questions that arise, can be found in the public library.
