I believe the CANHR website also has ratings for nursing homes. www.canhr.org
Also the Medicare Nursing Home Compare ratings, available here: http://www.medicare....arch.asp?bhcp=1

I don't think your comment is appropriate. If I had asked for a recommendation like this last Fall (when my late father had to go into a nursing home) and I had received this response, it would have really, really upset me and my Mom who HATED that it had to happen.Put her in a residential home that cares for seniors-there is one on Flower Dr and a couple others in Folsom. Don't put her in a nursing home unless you have no other options, for their sake and yours.
Don't assume those involved haven't thought through their options, that they want your judgment, or that you know better than them. You don't know the story, nor do you deserve to know. None of us do; it's their business, not ours.

I have to defend asbestoshills here a little. the poster was asking for ANY information, which would include judgement and options. we can't assume the poster has had experience with this before, hard to tell what the situation is, i.e. the condition of the elder they are moving. It is always a hard decision when an elder reaches that point in life. and it can come with a lot of guilt. we all do the best we can.
my plan is to go out on an ice flow eventually.

You are talking apples and oranges.
A residential care home does not provide 24-hour skilled nursing care. It is for elders who need assistance with their activities of daily living or supervision due to dementia. It is not medical care.
A nursing home (technically called a "skilled nursing facility" or snf) is for elders with medical conditions that require 24-hour nursing care. They have nurses on duty 24/7.
If the OP's grandmother has medical conditions requiring skilled nursing, a residential care home won't be an option.
