Book Description

March 2005
The Virginia Nursing Home Survival Guide teaches Virginia residents how to: (1) select the right nursing home; (2) get the best possible care; (3) pay for nursing care without going broke; (4) legally and ethically go through "medicaid planning"; and (5) be protected from nursing home neglect and abuse.

The Virginia Nursing Home Survival Guide provides Virginia consumers with much-needed information and answers to the important questions they will encounter on the journey from independent living to finding what will hopefully be a safe, comfortable, and affordable nursing home. Because the transition to a nursing home is almost always made under tremendous stress, it is vitally important that Virginia consumers become educated about all of the available options in order to improve their ability to choose well for themselves and their loved ones.
