Some nursing homes have special service units like rehabilitation, Alzheimer's, and hospice. Learn if there are separate waiting periods or facility guidelines for when residents would be moved on or off the special unit. For Sections III through VI, give the nursing home a grade from one to five. One is worst, five is best. Worst Best 1.
