Getting the Best Nursing Home Care for Your Loved One

America is aging.  Today, a baby boomer turns 65 every 7½ seconds.  As life expectancy continues to increase, so too does the need for nursing home care.  The older we get, the more likely it is that we will require around the clock assistance nursing homes are supposed to provide.  Some experts estimate that 75% of all Americans age 85 and older will one day need nursing home care.  The U.S. Census Bureau projects that 85 plus age group will be over 7 million in 2020 doubling the number of people in nursing homes.  That can make a bad situation worse.  Nursing homes today are often understaffed and under funded.  Facts that frequently translate to insufficient resident care, but it doesn’t have to be that way.  There are steps you can take to insure your loved one is properly cared for.
