Just
as MorningStar of Sparks encourages anyone interested in our community to
schedule a tour, so do most other assisted
living communities. This is because you cannot really get an
idea of what a community looks like or feels like without seeing it in
person.
In
addition to wanting your loved one to be happy in their new “home,” your
priorities
most likely include finding a community that is well run, clean, and within
your price range. Experts recommend
your first step should be to do some research over the Internet and on the
phone. Narrowing down your choices
includes considering things such as how convenient will it be for the family to
visit and is it located close to a pharmacy, medical facilities and shopping. Furthermore, find out if the community is accepting
new residents, and if not, you may want to go on their waiting list.
Senior
support networks like Caring.com has a great checklist (it is even printable) of
tips to consider for when touring an assisted
living community. To
start with, they say you should always listen to your gut instincts. From the moment you walk through the door, do
you get a good feeling? Regardless of
how beautifully decorated, does it feel welcoming and have a home-like
atmosphere? If they offer the service,
eat lunch with the residents as it will help to give you a more complete
picture of the community.
At
MorningStar of Sparks, we encourage families to come and visit as we are proud
of each and every aspect of our community.
Not only is our community beautifully decorated and designed
for residents’ every comfort and need, but we have a staff that
is committed to serving seniors and come to work each day with a smile on their
face. Please visit our website to learn
more.

statement “to honor, to serve, to invest” sets us apart from other senior communities.
