How to research Nursing Homes for an Alzheimer’s patient?
My mother-in-law has Alzheimer’s and is getting to the stage where she is forgetting the people/family members she does not see everyday. It will not be long before we have to place her in a home. How do I research nursing homes that would be the best fit for her? I really need some good advice……

I would first find out the places in your area with vacancy some places have waiting list then have a meeting with the owners /mangers of the places ,research online , maybe even find some people who have family members in one of these homes and ask about it’s reputation
go visit, Find one with a dementia unit. It is easie to get admitted from a hospital than home. You also have the assistance of the hospital SW. So at the first sign of a medical problem take her to the ER.
