How do I choose the best long-term care situation for myself?

As far as how you choose the best long term care situation for you or for a loved one, I think talking to people is probably the best way to do it. Talking to people who work within our industry as well as talking to people that you know who have had contact with it. I think word of mouth is very important because from one community to the next, there is a very wide variability. So I think that's probably the best way to find out what's available in your area and what would best suit your needs and obviously getting out there and actually seeing those places that you are considering and if it's an option to get care in your home. I think a great majority of us would choose that option as supposed to going to a new unfamiliar place with, you know, strangers taking care of you essentially.
