Long Term Care Resources
I came across a site recently that is a great “facility search” site for long-term care facilities called Long Term Care Resources. It is also a great informational site as well. In addition to a facility search section, there are several other sections that I think are very relevent and helpful. There is a “Your Rights” page that discusses your constitutional and legal rights if you are in a nursing home. “No resident may be deprived of any rights, benefits, or privileges guaranteed by law, the Constitution of a State, or the Constitution of the United States solely on account of his status as a resident of a facility.” There are also links explaining Medicare and Medicaid.
The site is going through a redesign, so we look forward to seeing how it turns out with the new look!
