Website review

Step 1: Access the Nursing Home Compare website at:

https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/search.html?

Step 2: Enter a location (city and state or state only) and then click “search.”

Step 3: Select two nursing homes (preferably at least one you have visited) and click “add to compare” for each one.

Step 4: Scroll back to the top of the page and select “compare now.”

Step 5: Multiple tabs will appear with information about the two nursing homes you selected to include: general information, quality ratings, health inspects, staffing, etc.  Take some time to review this information and note what you found interesting or what information causes you to have additional questions.
