“Superbugs” such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus and a new strain of Clostridium difficile are becoming much more prevalent.

The ratings are based on health inspections, staffing levels and a variety of quality measures. Trained inspectors from state agencies do on-site inspections.

Many of our clients have told us that when their elderly loved ones are in a hospital, nurses used wrist restraints and bedside rails to keep them from falling out of bed.
