What should I look for in a DSWD accredited nursing home?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

When searching for a DSWD accredited nursing home, consider factors like the home's licensing, staff qualifications, and resident-to-staff ratios. It's important to assess the quality of care provided, including access to medical services and specialised programs for seniors. Additionally, check for cleanliness, safety measures, and activities that promote social engagement. Visiting the facility and talking to current residents and their families can offer valuable insights. For more detailed criteria, consult the DSWD's guidelines or speak to a qualified elder care advisor.
