Because Tom and I are in our mid-40s and are parents are aging, we've been made aware of nursing homes (Tom's grandmother was in one before she passed 2 years ago, and our friend Beverlee is now a candidate for one after she gets out of the hospital). We also have a number of friends whose parents are in nursing homes and it is always tough to find a good one.
Fortunately, USA Today published a story today with a federal gov't assessment of nursing homes throughout the U.S. There's a searchable database by name of facility, or if you just put in your state, all of the nursing homes will come up in alphabetical order. This is going to be very helpful to anyone. To search for nursing home ratings by state, go to:
