Ratings For State Inspection And Medicare
I am placing my mother in memory care and doing all of this alone. I would like to know how I can get the state inspection and Medicare ratings for facilities. Also, what other type of questions besides what is obvious should I be asking and looking for? I know when touring, they guide you essentially but what don't they just come out and say that I need to know. Your advice is very much appreciated, thank you in advance!
Just saw this. The results of previous inspections are required to be in plain view on the walls of every nursing home or facility
Here are a link for Medicare ratings and quality ratings too. Remember that Medicare only pays for short term care and you have to qualifying medical problems. Just dementia isn’t a qualifier, because the usually need custodial care - bathing, feeding, dressing, med administration, and someone to help them walk or take them to activities in a W/c or transport chair. You may wish to google your state ratings also,

My thoughts are with you and I wish you the strength.
I found out just today that you can ask the care facility for the state ratings and they have to provide it. I asked the facilities that I narrowed down to and received it right away.
I'm also moving my Mom into memory care in the next couple weeks. Excruciating experience. Sadness, guilt, fear, etc. One question is caregivers to residents ratio. The one we are looking at is one caregiver to eight residents. I don't know if that is good, I need to research it. Good idea about ratings, I didn't think of that. Mom's in Montana so I'll look for websites. I am dreading the actual move, not sure how we'll do it or how it will go. We aren't going to tell her....:0
Oh @bobbiekay08, thank you very much for that. This is the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. Bless your heart and your family 💜
