Starting the Search for a Nursing Home
When searching for a nursing home, the internet is clearly one of the best places to start. Obviously, this is just the beginning of the process as there is no substitute for actually visiting potential nursing homes in person. Regardless, we suggest that you begin by gathering information on homes in counties that will work for you and your loved one. Once you get a list of homes that will work from a geographical standpoint, you can then narrow the homes down based on size, services, provided, costs, and other readily available information. Then it will be time to conduct some in-person visits and talk with other families about their experiences with the facilities. To help you begin, we have set forth some information about some of the major homes in the following Tennessee counties:
Memphis and Shelby County Nursing Homes
Chattanooga Area Nursing Homes
