Nursing Homes–Does Your State Make A Passing Grade?

Families for Better Care recently released a report card to grade states on nursing homes.  Check it out to see if your state gets a passing grade! Families for Better Care is a Florida-based “non-profit citizens advocacy group” devoted to “creating public awareness of the conditions in our nation’s nursing homes and other long-term care settings and developing effective solutions for improving quality of life and care.”

Their Nursing Home Report Cards is a “project that analyzes, compares and ranks state’s nursing home quality.” The website allows a user to look at overall grades for states in various categories as well look at a specific ranking for a state that includes key findings, grade and rank for 2014 compared to 2013. There is also an interactive map that allows the user to quickly look at a state’s “grade.” The website also includes a list of the top states and the worst states.
