(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 11, 2009 ) DETROIT, MI - Most nursing home data include valuable information to help consumers choose. However, most quality data do not contain valuable experiential data from residents and their families that may provide the most insight. http://www.WhereToFindCare.com is a new website that gets this and other crucial information to those that need it.

WhereToFindCare.com recently received a comment about a nursing home that apparently provided poor care: "Stay away from this nursing home! They almost killed our relative! The CNA's took absoloutely [sic] no care of her, and literally left her in bed to die. They gave her medications for a different resident...." The review from a visitor to a nursing home in Wisconsin goes on and can be found in the health care comments section of the website.

The website launched last summer in response to growing concerns about nursing home quality and satisfaction. It lets visitors share their experiences, find quality data and review ratings. Its founders’ goal is to expose poor quality nursing homes and give them the feedback they need to improve. This recent comment is evidence of the need for the site.

“This isn't the kind of feedback you'll ever get by looking only at quality data, inspection reports or even by taking a tour,” says Barbara O’Connell, the site’s co-founder. Barbara advises “when choosing a nursing home, you should consider all of these things in addition to consumer ratings – and never make a determination based on one comment which could be an isolated incident, misleading or even incorrect.”

Visitors to http://www.WhereToFindCare.com can learn how to choose a nursing home (http://wheretofindcare.com/NursingHome/NursingHomes.aspx), browse nursing home reviews and even rate nursing homes.
