Decision checklist

Before choosing care in Gainesville

  • Compare health-inspection, staffing and resident-quality ratings separately; the overall rating can conceal important differences.
  • Review each linked profile’s inspection dates, deficiency severity, penalties and ownership information.
  • Visit shortlisted homes, ask how staffing is handled on nights and weekends, and verify availability and services.
