How to Choose a Nursing Home in Ohio
Understand Your Rights With a Cleveland Attorney
When you are ready to place your loved one into a nursing home or other elder care facility, it is important that you know how to choose a home and what criteria to use when making such a decision.

Choosing the right nursing home can prevent incidences of neglect and abuse in the future.

Learn How to Choose a Nursing Home in Ohio
There are many aspects to consider when choosing an Ohio nursing home. Ask questions such as:
- Is the nursing home privately owned, or is it part of a chain of nursing homes?
- What is the nurse-to-patient ratio?
- How many beds does the nursing home have?
- How many nurses are on a shift?
- Does the nursing home have any violations?
- What do prior reports and past survey results say about the nursing home?
Social services and the state of Ohio collect information about nursing homes via surveys and violations. If a nursing home has had a violation, they can tell you what it was for and what the facility did to fix the problem.
