Touring a senior living community is a critical step in choosing the right care. But knowing what to ask can make all the difference.
Start with the basics: What types of care are offered? Are there nurses or caregivers on-site 24/7? What’s included in the monthly cost? Are there extra fees?
Ask about the staff-to-resident ratio and how emergencies are handled. Explore the meal plan and ask if dietary needs are accommodated. Inquire about the activities calendar because social connection is key to emotional well-being.
Walk through the community. Does it feel clean, safe, and welcoming? Are residents engaged and comfortable? Do staff members seem kind and attentive?
Finally, ask about move-in costs, contract terms, and policies on transitioning to a higher level of care if needed.
