Many nursing homes are "for profit" entities. Therefore, they make more money the less they spend on residents--even though they are surveyed by the state in which they operate. Instead, try to find a nursing home that is affiliated with a local hospital or is "nonprofit" in status. Any profit earned by the nursing home is funneled back into care of the residents (vs. paid to stakeholders as in a for profit situation). Always ask to see the last state report that cites any deficiencies that were found on the last inspection and ask about the action plan the home inititated to resolve the deficiency.
