Questions for Your Tour

  • 1With a 5-star CMS rating for staffing, how do you ensure that level of consistent, personalized attention for each of the 48 residents throughout the day?
  • 2I noticed that you are quite active in responding to feedback online; how do you use that family input to improve the daily experience for residents?
  • 3Given that there have been a few state violations over the past year, could you walk me through the steps you've taken to address those specific areas and ensure they don't recur?
  • 4With a smaller capacity of 48 residents, how does the facility foster a sense of community and keep residents engaged in daily activities?
  • 5How does your team coordinate with Barton Hospital for urgent medical needs, and what is the process for keeping families informed during an emergency?
  • 6Since your CMS health inspection scores are excellent, what specific protocols do you have in place to maintain such high standards of care and hygiene on a daily basis?
