The Columbia Basin Care Facility is pleased to provide you with a series of links to help you find answers to questions related to care and services. Although we don't specifically endorse any one site as being the best or most inclusive website for any particular topic, we hope you find them to be good starting points to find the information you want.

We have grouped the links into Health & Medical, Finances & Services and Other.

Health & Medical                                       

Medical Dictionary          What was that and what does it mean? Even if your spelling isn't perfeckt, this site can help. The dictionary can even handle some abbreviations.

WebMD          Comprehensive health resources for consumers, physicians, nurses, and educators. Includes news, chat forums, health quizzes and consumer product updates.

Other                                                                

Consumer Reports       Many people consult Consumer Reports before buying a car, television or others items for their households, but what about long term care insurance or safety at home?

Using a search engine effectively

There are ways to help you find what you need more quickly and closer to where you need the product or service.

For instance, if you use Google, Yahoo, Ask.com or one of the many different search engines, try this:

  • type in your search words in singular form, for instance 'senior service' instead of 'senior services'
  • type in the name of the city and state without the comma between them
  • type in the zip code of the city, if you know it

The sites that will be listed first will be those closest to you for the item you trying to find.

By requesting the search engine look in your area, your search will be faster and more likely to give you information that is meaningful.

 

Please don't hesitate to recommend other websites, addresses or phone numbers of individuals, businesses or organizations that you found to be helpful to your resident and family members. We appreciate your help. Thank you.

My recommendations.
