• evaluate nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and home care providers to find the right one
  
• find out what lasting effects the COVID-19 pandemic had on any nursing facility you're considering
  
• get the most out of Medicaid, Medicare, and veterans' programs
  
• consider the special needs of loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's, and
