When looking for a nursing home to place your elderly mother or father in, you already know how important it is to do your homework. By conducting research on the facility, you will be able to determine if a nursing home has good reviews or bad ratings.
There are several resources you can check out in order to find information about a nursing home you are considering. The many tools include:
- Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare tool
- Medicaid Services Special Focus Facility List
- Florida Nursing Home Watch List
- Nursing Home Report Card
- Nursing Home Guide
- Agency for Health Care Administration
- ProPublica
- SeniorAdvisor.com
- Florida Ombudsman
By visiting these websites, you can read whether a certain nursing home has received a violation or what others have said about their relative’s experience at the home. When nursing homes receive bad ratings, it is pretty serious—often involving cases of nursing home abuse, poor care, and issues with food handling.
By using these tools, it can help your loved one avoid being harmed or becoming a victim of nursing home abuse in Fort Lauderdale. If your loved one is a victim of abuse, please contact a skilled Florida nursing home abuse lawyer at the Law Offices of David Benenfeld at 954-677-0155 for a free consultation.
