How do I choose between them?
Tour both at least twice (once at meal time, once mid-afternoon). Ask about 24/7 registered-nurse coverage, care minutes per resident per day (federal target is 215, including 44 minutes RN time), the latest ACQSC accreditation report, staff retention, and current waitlist. Then talk to current residents families – they are the most honest reference. A free placement consultant can also identify which has current vacancies and negotiate RAD.
