Choosing a nursing home is one of the most important
decisions a person makes. Nursing homes are also known as
Residential Care Homes. The institution must adhere to
strict standards for licensing, though a licensed nurse is
not required. In selecting a facility, it is in a person's
best interest to explore what is desired by the family. This
can be a accomplished by asking questions and visiting care
facilities.
Information that can be of help in the decision-making
process, and in answering the myriad of questions that
arise, can be found in the public library.
The facilities on the following list are licensed by the
State of California as of April, 1997. Listings are updated
quarterly. When seeking a placement, call several care homes
to learn if each facility has a vacancy, then try to see as
many as are available to find the one that best meets your
family's needs.
