A List of General Public Service Information Available to the General Public as well as Members of the Professional Community
We would be happy to mail you any or all of these guidelines. These Guidelines are on our Public Service Home page for use by the general public to educate the public and hopefully thereby raise the standard of care for all of our elderly loved ones. Members of the Professional community may use and/or reproduce these Guidelines for use in their practice with their clients.

- Guidelines to the selection of a Quality Nursing/Convalescent Home.

- Part One ---- a mandatory minimal safety and quality requirement list. (mailed)

- Part Two ---- a list of suggestions for a better quality facility. (mailed)

These guidelines for overall quality and safety or the lack thereof in a long-term care facility were prepared for the use of the general public in assessing the quality of a facility prior to placing someone in that facility.

Some Attorneys find this information useful as guidelines for evaluating overall quality   and safety of an institution when negligence is suspected. Safety violations and some other issues are not necessarily obvious in a review of written medical records and require an actual physical viewing of a facility.

Alternative Financial Sources and Alternative Sources to Traditional Nursing/ Convalescent Home Placement. (mailed)

Some Attorneys also use our general information to assist their own clients in planning family care matters.
   
We feel strongly that an informed general public is a valuable safeguard against abuse and neglect of the elderly. Feel free to reproduce and distribute any general informational materials to any of your clients that may be interested in the information.
