If you are trying to find the best assisted
living community for yourself or a loved one, there are a
few things you should consider to help guide your decision including scheduling
a personal tour of the community. While
many senior living communities’ websites are filled with lots of pictures
and information, there is nothing like a firsthand
look.
During your tour (or in a follow-up call),
be prepared to ask the right questions. As
A Place for Mom recommends, you will want to know about the staff-to-resident
ratio and the type of training the staff has and/or receives as an
employee. You will also want to know
about the assessment process done prior to the individual moving into the
community as this step ensures a person gets the level of care they need for
their safety and comfort. In addition
ask what procedures are in place to stay abreast of any changes in your or your
loved one’s health.
Be sure to ask if the community has a
nurse on staff and if they are on call 24/7?
You will also want to know how your monthly fee will be determined and the
type of apartments available. Are there
additional move-in fees or contractual obligations when you move out, and if
there is a waiting list, what is the typical waiting period?
