I am only 47 but have a progressive spinal cord disease which will require 24/7 care eventually. So I looked at several nursing homes so I can choose now instead of my family deciding for me when the time comes. Having worked in nursing homes for several years (dietary) I knew what to look for when taking a tour. First off for a facility it lacked adequate parking spaces. First thing I noticed when walking in the door was the strong smell of urine which naturally became stronger when going down the residents halls. That tells me that it is not a clean facility. Whoever tells you different is either clueless or is lying to you. Another thing I noticed was if there was a space available in a room there was a bed. 3 to 4 residents per room, there is very little privacy with the only thing separating you is a cheap cloth curtain. Semi private should only be 2/room. I then read their most recent state survey, which every family should read when viewing or considering any facility. Bottom line I would never put myself or anyone I love in this place. Others might have different opinions, this is mine. But when you consider placing a loved one in someone else's care, ask yourself one question. Would I (meaning yourself) be happy if I had to live here? If the answer is no, then look elsewhere.
