Description: 
Summary: Information & Referral services help consumers figure out what kind of help they need, then hook them up to appropriate providers.
The best directory of licensed nursing homes in the United States has been created by the Health Care Financing Administration, and is called Nursing Home Compare. This database is searchable by name, state, county, or zip code, and includes not only telephone and address information, but also a summary of recent inspections. Many states provide lists or databases of other kinds of licensed facilities, such as assisted living, day care, or home health facilities. See the links below for more information.
