Tips for Choosing the Best Nursing Home for Your Loved One

Published by Joseph Shea

As an increasing number of the population ages, nursing home negligence and elderly care become more and more popular. But finding the right nursing home for your loved one can be more difficult than you may imagine. After all, finding the right nursing home is an important decision, as your loved one will be spending all of their time there. Our Chicago injury attorney is here to provide helpful tips on when and how to find the right nursing home to reduce the risk of nursing home negligence.

When Is It Time?

You may be dragging your feet about when it’s time to move your loved one into a nursing home, but there are signs that shouldn’t be ignored. If falls occur frequently, hygiene is no longer a priority, cooking is too much of a chore, or medications aren’t being taken in the right way, you may want to consider looking for a nursing home for your aging family member.

Choosing a High-Quality Home

Make sure that the home is certified and has quality reviews online. This is a simple way to gain insight into real-life experiences with the home. You should also check to ensure that the facility has the tools to handle patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Every room should have a window and there should be healthy food options available at every meal. See if the facility is clean and well-kept, and check to see that others in the nursing home are well taken care of.

In the case that you have reservations about whether or not the home is right for your loved one, we recommend continuing your search. Our Chicago injury attorney has seen far too many cases of nursing home negligence and we want to ensure that your family stays safe.
