Specialization Everyone is different, and it is important to choose a facility that provides the specific care your loved one needs. Some people will need a care facility that specializes in Alzheimer's care and treatment for long-term patients. Others will need a facility that specializes in short-term care and rehabilitation so that your loved one can return home as soon as possible. Health And Safety You are choosing a care facility because it will keep your loved one safer and healthier than they would be at home. Spend some time online researching reviews and evaluations of the facility. You can't substitute an in-person visit with an online search, but starting online can help you learn more about the facilities you are considering. Take time to consider the five things listed above, as well as any specific concerns you have about a care facility. Doing what is best for your loved ones can be difficult, but it will protect them, and leave you less stressed so you can enjoy their company while someone else functions as a caretaker. —from page 67
