Hi,
Are there any nursing homes on the north coast? Saw an old thread about this but maybe something has changed or been put in place since then for the elderly who are unable to care for themselves??
Thanks!

Not that I am aware of. Most Dominican families take care of their own. Alternatively, you can hire a nurse to care for the person in their own home. This is a lot less expensive than it would be in the US, for example.

The one Matilda is referring to is operated by Hijas de la Caridad, Sisters of Charity. If you Google them in Puerto Plata, there will be a link for a video.
