Nursing Home Research

No one wants to go to long-term care; nor, are they overjoyed when they get there.

However, there may come a time in your family when certain circumstances indicate that it is a possibility that should be considered.  For example, a loved one may be in need of a living environment with memory care services or smoothly transitioning back home with the proper care following an inpatient rehab stay. Whatever the circumstance, it is important that you and your family have the information needed to make an informed decision.

How do you select the best and most affordable long-term care solutions for you or your loved one, or even start “the conversation”?

It is a daunting task and a very important decision.  Putnam Health Advocates’ team of professionals will take the guess work out of these decisions by providing a long-term care research and selection plan. Our Care Advocates will sit down with you and your loved one and create a profile of “wants and needs” in order to develop and implement an action plan.

We will visit, interview and submit an objective and unbiased report of up to three nursing homes in your chosen geographic location.  We will also observe, evaluate and report on accreditation and government reports, cleanliness, staff to patient ratio, cost and level of care.

If you need to apply for Medicaid benefits, we can coordinate and manage that process as well.
