Things to Consider When Visiting An Assisted Living Community

• As you arrive at the residence, do you like its location and outward appearance?
• Do residents socialize with each other and appear happy and comfortable?
• Do the staff members treat each other in a professional manner?
• Is the residence clean, free of odors and appropriately heated/cooled?
• To what extent are medical services available, and how are these services provided?
• Is there a staff person to coordinate home care visits from a nurse, physical therapist or occupational therapist if needed?
• Does a physician or nurse visit the resident regularly to provide medical checkups?
• Do dining room menus vary from day to day and meal to meal?
• Is a 24-hour emergency response system accessible from the home?
• Is a contractual agreement available that discloses health care and supportive services, all fees, as well as admission and discharge provisions?
• Are additional services available if the resident’s needs change?
