Things To Look For In An Assisted Living Facility

When it is time to move a loved one into an assisted living facility, it is a very somber and serious time. You want the best for your loved one. You want your loved ones to enjoy the remainder of their life here on earth. There are assisted living facilities on a spectrum of various price points and accommodations. If your loved one was not planning for this phase in their life, you may have price constraints on what you can afford for them.

Here are some questions to ask when shopping for an assisted living home—

  • What are you expecting from an assisted living home?
  • Are there any special care needs or requirements you need the assisted living home to provide?
  • How do you like to keep busy and what activities do you want access to?
  • Where would you want to live?
  • What amenities do you want the assisted living facility to include?
  • What price point can you afford?
  • What staff to resident ratio would you like to see at your assisted living facility?
  • What do the apartments look like? Do you get your own unit or have to share?
  • What features are included in your apartment?
  • What do the food and beverage look like?

By answering these general questions, you will have an idea of the direction you would like to go in with your initial assisted living facility search. As you begin to narrow down the top choices, many more detailed questions will come to mind. Prior to signing a contract with the assisted living facility, ensure everything they promised is included in the paperwork. That way if they do not deliver on their promised service, you will be able to enforce the contract and get the service you deserve.
