How do I find out if someone is in a nursing home or has died?

Another idea is to contact the county. If a "government" person was charged with her care, that would be someone from the county. You might get some information there.

You can also try FindAGrave.com, they have it where you can search using the person's name. Best to use first name and last name, skip the middle initial. Skip the dates unless the person has a common name. If you knew when she was born, put that in.

Another way is to type her first and last name into Google, then put a comma then the word obit.

If you know someone who is on Ancestry.com, they can run a search.

If there were no immediate relatives, you may not find any information. I noticed fewer and fewer people are doing obits, many out of privacy.

Look up her name on Legacy.com to see if there was an obituary for her.
