Questions for Your Tour

  • 1I've heard wonderful things about how welcoming the front desk staff is; how do you introduce new residents to the team to help them feel at home?
  • 2Since the facility is so intimate with only seven residents, how do you ensure that the age groups and specific care needs are matched appropriately for everyone?
  • 3We are looking for a place with active engagement; could you walk us through what a typical day of structured activities and social events looks like for the residents?
  • 4How does the staff approach managing high-stress medical procedures or sensory overloads for children with autism?
  • 5What specific protocols do you have in place to ensure that every staff member provides attentive, one-on-one care rather than just supervision?
  • 6In the event of a medical emergency or a sudden change in a resident's health, what is the immediate process for care and communication with the family?

Key Review Excerpts

COVID-19 VACC #1 done here for my son. He has autism and is afraid of getting shots. They restrained him well enough to get it. Thank you all for that.

Parent of a child receiving services · 2021★★★★★

Great facility with a great staff my kid does not fight me to come here he loves it!!

Parent of a child receiving services · 2018★★★★★

Worked there for a while but was absolutely appalled and horrified by the treatment these children got. I was placed in the "hardest and highest turnover" home.
