Help For Deciding on Nursing Homes When checking out nursing homes for my father, I came across this site that allows you to drill down into nursing homes to each specific complaint found during annual inspections. I found this useful because some complaints or citations were more generic and some were serious. It doesn't replace an actual walkthrough, and it looks at a facility as a whole. There's a trend to make nursing homes less hospital-like and more home-like, with cottages, limited patients etc. My father was lucky enough to get into the only floor in a big facility that was testing the cottage-like approach, and had meals cooked by staff and served at a dining room table. His level of care was much better than the rating given to the whole facility. The website is [nursinghomerating.org](https://nursinghomerating.org) and allows you to search by state and city. Hope it helps someone!
