There is a time in everyone's life when assistance in care is needed, whether for ourselves, our spouses or someone we love. When locating an assisted-living facility, adult day care or nursing home, it is important to find a place to call your own and a place to call home. As you begin this search, you will find many choices and a large variety of alternatives. You can go to the big impersonal corporate facility, the expensive country clubs, places that feel like a hospital or institution, or you can come home.
