Sadly, the one thing I took from my time as an EMT and paramedic was which nursing homes to consider and which to avoid. I filed more than one complaint with the DOH. It's a standing joke that whenever 911 crews respond to a nursing home, the report you'll get from staff will be a bingo game of: - "I just got on shift; I don't know why you were called." - "This is not my usual floor; I'm just covering while someone i…

Name and shame. In the absence of adequate government protections, only company reputation protects consumers from exploitation.

Too many to name and shame. However, most states do publicize SNF (skilled nursing facility) inspections, complaints and investigations. Washington does, and with a good amount of detail, including outcomes and findings.

Well, now I want to know, how do you pick a good one ?

A lot easier when you're not on a tour and just have the ability to visit (fun fact, some facilities have socialization events around holidays, although that might sound callous). Staff mood. How many staff? If hallways are empty, just residents? Not good. Scents/odors. Yes, incontinence is a thing, not to be shamed. How you handle the cleaning, laundry of it, so it's not a pervasive scent? That's another.

Most states will publish some reports. Washington's DOH will publish fairly detailed information on complaints against facilities, investigation details, and findings and outcomes.

Humans already are non-deterministic black boxes, so I'm not sure I would use that comparison.

What's better, a non-deterministic black box or a non-deterministic black box designed by non-deterministic black boxes?

How are humans designed, for comparison?

Do you believe humans are designed by someone?
