Find a Facility

After you and your family doctor discuss the type of services needed, you can obtain a list of facilities that offer these services in your area from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Your doctor or social worker usually will be familiar with area facilities. Other sources of information include the Idaho Health Care Association, an affiliate of the American Health Care Association; local medical societies; hospital discharge planners; local or county aging agencies and ombudsmen; and health or human services departments. Friends and neighbors may offer information if they are acquainted with someone in a nearby facility. Religious organizations also may recommend local facilities. Reports of inspections conducted by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare are also available for review. Customer satisfaction, clinical quality and state survey inspection reports may provide a more objective view of the facility. Check with the facility about obtaining copies of these reports.

By telephoning the facilities on your initial list, you usually can narrow the field to two or three facilities offering the specific services and location required. Plan to visit each of these facilities.
