I caution families of potential residents to not dismiss a care home because it doesn't have five stars, or accept one because it does. That ranking may be a starting point (a one star ranking may show serious issues), but it should be only a small part of how you will determine which care center is right your loved one. We're not talking about an evening out at a restaurant. We're talking about quality of life for a vulnerable elder.
