GUILDLINES FOR CHOOSING A NURSING HOME
When deciding which Nursing Home to choose, you may find it useful to consider the following:
- Are you greeted in a friendly, welcoming way?
- Is there a pleasant atmosphere, e.g. the sound of conversation/laughter?
- Are there unpleasant odours or excessive air freshener?
- What are the facilities in the rooms like?
- What other facilities are available e.g. TV room, quiet areas, Garden
- What is the cost per week and what is included in the price?
- What costs are not included in the basic fee?
- What are the staffing levels of trained nurses and care assistants?
- How is the care organised?
It is best to view the home during daylight hours in order to get as much out of the visit as possible.
You should view several nursing homes
so that comparisons can be made.
