Finding the right senior living community for your loved one can be overwhelming. As such, taking the time to tour assisted living facilities and asking the staff questions are helpful aspects of the process. If you’re planning a visit to an adult care establishment, here are four common inquiries to get you started. 

Common Inquiries When Visiting a Residence

1. What Level of Care Do You Offer Residents With Dementia?

Before getting settled into a community, each resident should undergo an assessment. This is a collaborative effort between family members, the potential resident, and facility staff. Together, you’ll determine the appropriate care plan and whether the center has the tools to help. Dementia assisted living is not always available; should your loved one require intensive memory care, see to it that the staff is prepared. 

2. What Activities Can Residents Participate In?

Ideally, the assisted living facility you choose will offer opportunities for social engagement and mental and physical activities. When touring a residence, the staff should provide a calendar of special events, ranging from card games and trivia nights to fun outings, like festivals and shopping malls. 

3. Can Residents Reside With Their Support Animals?

Assisted LivingIf your loved one depends on a pet for their comfort and well-being, it’s vital to ensure they can bring their companion with them. The assisted living community you choose should welcome support animals as long as residents can care for their pet’s needs. 

4. Are Nurses On-Site & Readily Available?

Even if your loved one isn’t currently experiencing any issues, choose a center with on-going access to a health care professional in case their condition changes. If your senior has memory or limited mobility issues, check for places that provide a safe and secure environment, doctors,  and pharmacy and therapy services.
