Research Senior Assisted Living Options
Before starting your tours, research the senior assisted living options available near you. Make a list of facilities that meet your criteria such as location, services offered, and affordability. Check online reviews and ratings to get an idea of the reputation of each facility.
Schedule Tours and Gather Information
Contact the senior assisted living facilities on your list to schedule tours. Prepare a list of questions to ask during the tours, covering topics like staff-to-resident ratio, amenities, and activities. During the tours, take note of the cleanliness, safety measures, and overall atmosphere of each facility.
Meet with Staff and Residents
Take the opportunity to meet with the staff members and talk to residents during your tours. Ask about the qualifications and training of the staff to ensure quality care for seniors. Observe how the staff interacts with residents and inquire about the social activities available.
Evaluate Contract and Services
Review the contracts and pricing details provided by each senior assisted living facility. Understand the services and amenities included in the pricing and inquire about additional charges. Consider the long-term care options and flexibility of the contracts before making a decision.
