By Carol Bradley Bursack, Health Guide Tuesday, December 05, 2006

Some of the homes in our area advertise, but most stay pretty full because of referrals from county social services or from satisfied family members related to those who have used the business. This is certainly something to look into, if you have an elder who would thrive in a small atmosphere. It’s getting to be a popular option. Just be sure the home is properly licensed and regulated. And, of course, family and/or friends should visit regularly.
