Broader nursing home information is not limited to federal or state websites. For example, the California Health Care Foundation website, which Harrington helped create, lists helpful information such as the percentages of residents at a home who require certain kinds of special care because of, say, reduced physical function or impaired cognition, compared with the state nursing home average. That will give you an advance sense of a home's ability to provide a service that your loved one may need. Hourly nursing staff wages and rates of staff turnover, with comparisons to regional averages, also are available.
