[QUOTE=Carol K;404985]We just moved to The Villages (2 months now) and need to move my mother to a nursing home in this area. She 97 and a dementia patient that needs 24 hour care. Could someone recommend a good facility or a list of places we can check out? Sure could use some help. Thank You![/
I worked as a nurse in long term care for 28 years before retiring.I would suggest you check out the nursing homes, by visiting them at different times during the day as well as in the evening, always go unannounced and request a tour. Check out how many residents on a unit, and how many staff members are caring for them, ask if there is a high turnover of staff.
You
can go to websites to check on deficiencies from state surveys nursing homes receive.,so if you have one in mind, you can see what their rating is.
