"A nursing facility is going to say, 'Hey, we need this money, and home health cannot take care of these people like we can.' And there are cases where that is true. But if you walk into any nursing home, you will see people who just basically need assistance with medications, but maybe for whatever reason the family is not able to do that," said Leslee Mast, superintendent at the Holmes County Home.
Mast brings a unique perspective to the study by the Ohio Council for Home Care, a home health advocacy group. She's in the business of long-term care. But because the Holmes County Home is not state certified, her facility does not receive state funding.

Though this article was written almost 4 years ago, yet the debate is still on. However, in my opinion, Nursing homes can take better care of people provided that they are made to follow law.For example, there should be no untrained nurse in a nursing home and this type of other obligations can help these homes serve in a better way. Nice post anyway!
