"Good nursing home care definitely exists, but you have to know where
to look and how to look. This book is a valuable tool for consumers
seeking quality nursing home care."

"While we all hope that nursing homes will take care of our loved
ones the way we would if we could, experience shows that getting good care
really depends on us -- family members and close friends. This new edition
of this highly acclaimed book provides the information we all need to
recognize problems when they occur, learn what quality care is and what's
required by law, and identify people and organizations that can help us.
Everyone with a family member or close friend in a nursing home should
have Nursing Homes: Getting Good Care There."
