- With 524 foster family homes here, a Med-QUEST member at nursing level may find a local placement through a case management agency.
- If an apartment-style setting matters, compare the nearest assisted living buildings' prices and drive times with local care homes.
- Ask every home for its latest OHCA inspection report and read it before visiting.
- Visit at a mealtime and meet the primary care giver, not only the licensee.
