Best Nursing Homes Near Miami

If you’re among the 70% of seniors aged 65 and older who need long-term care, then there’s a pretty good chance you’ve already been looking at senior living options. Maybe you or a loved one has decided that a nursing home is the best option for you. But maybe, just maybe, you’re having trouble finding the right one. After all, a lot of nursing homes don’t exactly have stellar reputations. You need one that’s both highly rated and highly regarded. Fortunately for seniors who live in or around Miami, we’ve already found some highly-rated (and regarded!) nursing homes near you!

Our research process:

1. We start where it counts: by visiting each facility’s website and reading through all the available info (customer testimonials, FAQ pages, etc.)! If there are videos on the website, we watch those, too!
2. Next, we read real customer reviews on platforms like Google and Yelp, among others. We take note of all the reviews, both good and bad, when we choose each facility. We also check the ratings of each facility on other platforms, like U.S. News & World Report and Medicare.gov.
3. And finally, we check their social media presence. AKA, if they have a Facebook or Instagram, we’re sure to dig through those, too!

_{^{Author’s note: While we LOVE doing research and helping seniors, we also strongly encourage all our readers to do their own research and visit each of these communities in person. Testimonials and reviews paint only half of the picture. So, schedule an in-person visit if possible. Take your time and ask yourself some important questions. Does the facility seem safe? Is it clean? Is the staff kind and professional? Are they able to answer all your questions, and do they seem happy or reluctant to do so? Do the residents seem happy and well-taken-care-of? In the end, if you don’t think a certain nursing home is the right fit for you, listen to your gut! It knows better than any Yelp review or website testimonial!}}
