CalQualityCare.org: Your Guide to Long Term Care in California

http://www.chcf.org/topics/view.cfm?itemid=134126

The California HealthCare Foundation has created a Web site rating thousands of the state's long term care providers on a wide range of quality of care measures -- information that will help consumers and their families make important choices in the planning of their health care.

The free online service, CalQualityCare.org, rates the care provided by nursing homes, hospice programs, and home health agencies, where data is available to evaluate performance. The site also provides information on many other kinds of long term care, including assisted living, retirement communities, and day care options. CalQualityCare.org features an easy-to-use "Long Term Care Assistant" tool that helps consumers choose among long term care options by posing ten simple questions.
