How to choose

1. Pick the type of care

Nursing homes are for 24-hour medical needs or rehab. Assisted living suits people who mostly need help with daily tasks.

2. Check the record

Look at the star rating, then read the latest inspection. A serious citation or a recent fine deserves a direct question.

3. Visit more than once

Go at different times, including a meal. Watch how staff talk with residents and how quickly call lights get answered.

4. Ask about money

Ask what is included, how prices rise as care needs grow, and whether the facility accepts Medicaid.
