Questions for Your Tour

  • 1I noticed the facility is quite large with 274 residents; could you walk me through the process for how staff are alerted when a resident needs assistance and what your typical response time looks like?
  • 2We’ve heard great things about your physical therapy team, but could you tell us how the nursing staff coordinates with them to ensure residents are getting consistent care throughout the day?
  • 3Regarding the dining experience, what options are available if a resident finds the standard meal service doesn't meet their specific nutritional needs or preferences?
  • 4What protocols do you have in place for routine room maintenance and deep cleaning to ensure the living environment remains comfortable and sanitary for all residents?
  • 5Communication is very important to our family; what is the best way for us to stay in touch with the nursing team, and how quickly can we expect a response regarding updates on our loved one?
  • 6With a facility of this size, how do you ensure that residents stay engaged and active, and what does a typical daily activity schedule look like for someone who enjoys socializing?

Key Review Excerpts

The nurses say that my mom had tonight when they came and visit her was very nice she took the time with her I would like to have that as her nurses ate all the time

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My mother was at the Rehab facility and while one or two of the aids were wonderful the experience was definitely, heart wrenchingly painful for both the patient (my mother) and us (her children).

Rehab patient's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

I experienced unsettling situations with my mother’s stay at Aventura and took my concerns to the Administrator, who followed up in a timely, thorough and professional way.
