Rate Your Health Care Experience on WhereToFindCare.com

Ypsilanti, MI – Consumers now have a free, convenient way to gain control over their health care options.  Through the use of the national Web site, WhereToFindCare.com, consumers who share their health care experiences will contribute to quality ratings of hospitals, doctors, nursing homes, diagnostic centers and other health care providers.

The Web site clears the confusion over health care by offering easy-to-understand tips for evaluating health care facilities and providers.  For example, what’s the difference between a skilled care facility and a nursing home?  How do you know what level of care your elderly loved-one needs?  How do you know a doctor or health facility provides high quality service? WhereToFindCare.com provides the answers to these and many other health care questions.

“We offer consumers a simple way to find and compare the best health options for them, in a way that everyone can understand,” says Barbara O’Connell, chief operating officer of WhereToFindCare.com. “To make the site more robust and user-friendly, we ask users to share their experiences. We add that detail into our customized rating system, so we incorporate the voice of the consumer.”

Currently, WhereToFindCare.com has information on close to 100,000 hospitals, doctors and health care facilities nationwide.  The owners are continually adding to the site, including a new tool that will help patients and their families find the best match when care at home is needed after being discharged from the hospital.

Visitors to the website also have the option to nominate outstanding health professionals as “Care Stars,” for added recognition. WhereToFindCare.com is a Michigan company created and managed by two health care experts, Barbara O’Connell and Dawn Hall.  The site is free to use and to contribute and share your health care experiences.  For more information, go to www.wheretofindcare.com.
