I was distressed to witness the video report of elder abuse in nursing homes Friday night on the CBS news.  Families for Better Care Advocacy Group did a survey on nursing homes by state and have produced a report card for access on their website.  If you want to see how your state fares in nursing home care, go to Families For Better Care and search for your state.

To see the news story, go to CBSnews.com.

If you would like to gain insight into the available skilled care facilities (nursing homes) in the Mobile area, I suggest you google Nursing Home ratings in Mobile.  MatchNursingHomes.org is a good place to start.  They offer ratings, bed availability and pertinent information that can help you narrow down your hunt.  Once you find some interesting prospects, call and make arrangements to visit and tour the facility.
