How to Get Good Nursing Home Care
Primary tabs
We will be discussing 1) how nursing homes are required to get input from residents and their families in assessing each individual's needs, preferences, and goals; 2) how each person's care plan should reflect what that individual needs and wants; and 3) what residents and families can do if the nursing home is not meeting an individual's needs, or complying with the care plan. We encourage questions about individual nursing home experiences.
