While there are many major sites that have a few ratings of some AL facilities, I'm wondering if this board or another site might have a forum where people discuss and compare facilities in their local area? There must be 40+ facilities in a 25 mile range of my home (So Cal). Would love to find more in depth feedback or be able to hear from other people who have had loves ones in some of these places.
Others here have worked out methods to investigate homes and facilities; perhaps they'll offer some suggestions.
And negative comments about one facility probably wouldn't be appreciated by that facility. Some might be aggressive enough to take action against the poster by contacting the Admins and requesting if not demanding ISP information to pursue slander charges against the poster.
Medicare used to have a facility comparison site, rated and evaluated by certain specified criteria.
