Check out the food and drink. Ask to see the kitchen where the residents' meals are prepared. A good nursing home will have no problem with this request. (In fact, most will invite you to have a meal in the dining room with the residents.) Is the kitchen clean? Does it smell good? Are dry goods properly stored on shelves off the floor? Ask to see inside the refrigerator. Is the food covered? Also find out the following: Is there a licensed dietician on staff? Is there a list of resident food allergies and dislikes on record? Is fresh drinking water easily accessible? Dehydration is a special risk for nursing-home residents.
