Safety Tips for the Home

HOUSING / ASSISTED LIVING

CarePatrol assists when locating senior housing (independent living, assisted living, nursing home, …) Think of them as real estate agents for you, with expertise in government and other legal paperwork/logistics. They also sometimes know of small providers that are available.
- One of their agents, Anthony Coleman, was a huge help for us in the NE Ohio area (thanks Anthony!)
- In the Cincinnati area Aletha Stewart 513-317-3591 is a wonderful CarePatrol resource
SeniorCare.com – includes Medicare ratings for each facility (HERE is an example for a top-rated place in SE Cinci – Atlantes). [HINT: After doing a search, look for the “No thanks. Just show me the facilities >” so you can avoid the marketing staff early on…]
AssistedLiving.org provides resources and information plus provides some Ohio location possibilities (though far from complete in the Cinci area)
