my grandma was at one, 1 nurse to 40 people.. and a lot of other illegal stuff which my mom sued the shit out of them for and won.

just do your research, visit her often and pay attention to the workers and all that
dont mean to you scare you from it just saying those places do have bad reps
A friend of mine's dad lived in this place that was a small apartment complex of about 10 units. He lived on his own, but they had onsite help 24/7 that you just had to either call or push a button for. So about once a week they came and helped him do his laundry and they would help him reach things if needed. He was in a wheelchair and had limited mobility from a stroke, but he seemed to really like living there. If I can find it I think that might be what we end up doing.
