介護施設と一言で言っても様々。探して見学してみて初めて分かることばかり。食べログみたいな評価サイトもない。それでも老人ホーム間の競争にはなってきたんでしょうか、広告料を取って老人ホームを紹介するサイトがあるのに気づきました。サイトから申し込んで資料請求したり見学に行ったりするとアマゾンのギフト券がもらえたり、更にそこから入居が決まると祝い金が出たり。難点もあって、施設からの広告収入で成り立っているということはお金を出さない施設は出てこないわけで、役所に置いてある介護施設リストでさえ、業者が広告を出して作っているものだと、施設全体は網羅していないので要注意。
My husband and I visited several nursing care homes to find a suitable place for our parents. Every time we find ourselves how much we don't know about these facilities. There's no big review site like YELP but we found search sites that give away Amazon gift if you write a review after a visit to facility or cash gift if you decide to live there. I understand those search sites consist of advertising charges because the market is bigger and the competition is harder. You might need to know that there're nursing facility who don't want to pay for advertising so they're never listed anywhere. For example, we found a thick list of nursing facility at city hall but a clerk said that it didn't list all the facility in the city.
