find the right nursing home for your loved ones

When you picture a nursing home, do you imagine a cold, unwelcoming place filled with unhappy elderly folks? I did, but that was before I visited a few that I was considering for my mother. I never knew that these facilities could be so warm, comfortable and filled with friendly folks before I took the time to visit a few of them. So, how do you find a great nursing home for your loved one? What amenities will your loved one find enjoyable? I created my blog to help other folks trying to find the right nursing home for their loved ones. Hopefully, my information will prove to be quite helpful during your search.
