With work and personal obligations, the time might come when you need to rely on outside help to provide care for an aging loved one. When looking for assisted living facilities, you want to make sure your senior gets the attention they need and the respect they deserve. Below are three qualities of great communities. 

3 Qualities All Reputable Assisted Living Facilities Should Possess 

1. Access to Medical Care 

Assisted living facilities should have trained medical care professionals on staff or access to their services when needed. When weighing options, ask what measures are in place to address your senior’s medical needs. If a doctor routinely visits the facility, ask about the frequency and what specialized treatment is provided. 

2. Socialization Opportunities for Residents 

At assisted living facilities, seniors should be given plenty of opportunities to socialize with their peers. Aging can be an isolating experience for some. Participating in fun-filled community classes and field trips will help your loved one keep a positive outlook. Make sure the facility offers events and provides communal spaces for socializing. 

3. Clean, Well-Maintained Rooms & Common Areas

Living in cluttered or dirty conditions can have a negative impact on your loved one’s mental and physical well-being. Make sure your senior’s unit, as well as common areas, dining rooms, and communal spaces, are maintained by dedicated team members or a commercial cleaning service.
