It’s something we should not just relegate to one day, but on today, national senior health and fitness day why not take a moment to tend to the loved ones that might soon be needing you. It’s not always a fun topic, but for many, the decision to give their parents, or older loved ones extra care is a difficult, yet inevitable one. Sometimes we need medical care not available at home, or long term at a hospital, and through the decades the ‘nursing home’ has become the solution to this consistent issue, when something greater is needed. However, though there has not been a very favorable view of nursing homes in past years, the idea has evolved.
Now, these rehabilitative centers, (which are, technically speaking, called advanced medical care ‘post acute’ care centers) look and feel more like a hotel than a hospital. Not only that, but they offer personalized therapy and more intimate attention. This evolvement is exactly what is changing the delicate topic, and how people view and discuss it. And the outlet being utilized to do that is BestNursingHomes.com. Through this online site, free to the public by the Association of Skilled Nursing Providers, one can research and find five-star nursing homes and rehabilitation centers rated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Through a five-star rating system, independent reviews, slideshow photos, featured videos, and detailed descriptions, they aim to give you everything you need to make an informed, confident decision. Think of it like a ‘Angies List’ of sorts, just for this one thing.
