Where can I find a permanent care home for my bilnd husband?

My husband is blind both eyes,heart patient. I'm trying to find a permanent care home for him. I would appreciate it if I could get some cooperation.I don't like being bounced around like a ball. I know theres a nursing facility out there that can except him.

Yes, there must be. Is his doctor helping? You may want to try your long-term care ombudsman. This person can be found on your state website - try typing "aging" into the search box and you should find a link, or go to www.ltcombudsman.org and type in the Zip code. Is your husband on Medicaid? That makes a difference, but most non-profit nursing homes need to accept a certain number of Medicaid residents in order to get Federal funding. I hope you get some assistance. The ombudsman program is extremely helpful.
