• Today, more than 60 million families are caring for an aging or disabled person at home, and caregivers, mainly women, are feeling the crunch. (Forbes May 2013).
• Women make 90 percent of health care decisions for themselves and their elderly parents, according to a study published by the American Academy of Family Physician.
• More than 69 million people spend an average of 20 hours per week engaged in family caregiving according to the National Family Caregivers Association, (Nov. 2009).
Nursing homes qualify for this highly selective annual list based on an objective proprietary scoring process. The selection process begins with the 5 star rating system from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rating three major elements: health inspections, nurse staffing, and quality of care. Weighting was then applied that reflect women’s preferences and priorities. In addition, any facility with serious deficiency reports is eliminated from consideration.
