I don't know how accurate this is, or if it is brand new, but tonight on the 5:00pm news, is the first time I'd heard of it. It is definately 'user' friendly. You just plug in your Zip Code, how many miles you are willing to travel, or the Proper Name of one, to check them out.

Sky,

Thanks for that site. The two I chose to compare didn't have the best ratings. On average they were only 2 star. Not very good huh? I'm going to try a few others just for the heck of it.

Thanks Nancy,
I found a four star one that is pretty close, I'll call them tomorrow and ask a few questions and maybe set up an appointment.

VERY COOL! A checked out a bunch, where Mom lives, just for the hell of it, I really don;t want her in a NH but.... (there are hundreds) and the one's I thought might be good, only had 1 star?? Let me know if they 'jive' with the real thing?

I will go check it out on Monday. Today I will give them a call and see if the have an alzheimers unit. I also have to see if they would take a hospice patient into a 5 day respite.
