2. Introduction
As the president of YAM Management, Yosef Meystel
possesses a deep understanding of the care senior
citizens need and best environments for them to
receive it. Following an illness or injury, many seniors
cannot live alone in their home, which often
necessitates a move that requires deliberation, but that
gets made in a rush. Responsible for the daily
operations of more than a dozen nursing homes, Yosef
Meystel offers three tips for finding an ideal nursing
home.
3. Three Tips
1. If a facility has a high rate of staff turnover, look
elsewhere. Seniors and their families are better off finding a
nursing home where at least 50% of the employees have
been with the home for a year or more.
2. Personalized care programs, which enable residents to
create their own schedules and avoid being told when to
eat, go to bed, or get up, are ideal.
3. Nursing homes that ensure their residents are cared for
by the same workers daily are best, as this prevents
mistakes in care and boosts the emotional health and
comfort of the residents.
