Who can help me make decisions about long-term care?
As far as making decisions for long-term care, whether it be for you or for your family, the more people you can talk to the better, particularly people who work in the industry and people in your community or your loved ones who have experience with it. There is just no substitute for actual experience and going out and actually seeing places, and talking to people who live in these places. I would also encourage you to consider talking to geriatric care managers of various types. There are a variety of social service agencies, area agencies on aging and other sorts of senior care resources in every community. The more people you can talk to, the more informed decision you will be able to ultimately make.
