How to choose a nursing home in Sedalia

Start with the record

Use the score to build a short list, then open each home's page. Read the latest inspection and ask about any serious citation or fine directly.

Check staffing

Ask how many residents each aide cares for on nights and weekends, and how long the director of nursing has been there. High turnover is worth a question.

Plan for Medicaid

Medicare covers only short rehab stays. 9 of 9 homes here accept Medicaid, which pays for most long stays, so ask whether a Medicaid bed will be available if savings run out.

Visit, then visit again

Go at a mealtime and once unannounced. Notice how staff speak to residents, how fast call lights are answered and how the building smells.
