Galveston County Daily News, July 14, 2009 UTMB's Dr. Michael Warren writes in his weekly column that nursing homes are a viable option and not the dreadful places that they are often portrayed as in the media or movies. "There are nursing homes that offer every imaginable amenity, including constant attention from a full staff and the atmosphere of a luxury hotel. (Of course, these are expensive.) Some have religious affiliations; others are nonprofit organizations; and others are bona fide businesses, where profit is a major consideration."
