Try: Before you go call and make an appointment don’t be afraid to ask questions ask the staff to explain anything you see and hear that you don’t understand for example if you hear a person calling out it may be because they are confused and not because they are being hurt or neglected ask who to call if you have further questions and write down the name and phone number talk to residents and family members about the care and their experience don’t go into resident rooms or care areas without asking the resident and nursing home staff first residents have a right to privacy after your visit write down any questions you still have about the nursing home or how the nursing home will meet your needs information references "guide to choosing a nursing home" by centers for medicare and medicaid services 2008 available at www medicare gov
