Yes !! But be careful
I worked for many years in skilled nursing communities that were 5 star rated which is great but you have to have a team that is ACCOUNTABLE!!that means every department !!! And most important a strong administrator and strong DON !!
If your lucky to find that than your in great hands

Again, Cissie, you are spot on with your assessment! Leadership, compassion, competence & accountability go hand in hand with achieving good outcomes and creating a truly healing community! Thank you for your most thoughtful and helpful comment! I have always urged people to introduce themselves to the Administrator & Director of Nursing whenever a relative is admitted to a nursing home. You can learn a great deal about the facility from its leaders! Well said!
