When you consider a nursing home, ask these important questions about the facility's licensing and staff credentials:
- What are the nursing home licensing requirements in your state?
- Research the licensing requirements in your state for various types of facilities. Make sure the facilities on your list are licensed and that their licenses are prominently posted in the facility
.
- Ask about the credentials of the staff.
- Does the nursing facility offer training?
- Are there staff dedicated to the different types of dementia?
- How many licensed RNs are on staff at all times?
