Questions for Your Tour

  • 1We've heard wonderful things about the home-cooked meals here; could you tell us a bit more about the daily menu and how much input residents have?
  • 2Since the facility is so small and intimate, how do you ensure that each resident has a personalized schedule of social activities and engagement throughout the week?
  • 3The cleanliness of the home is clearly a priority here, so how often are the common areas and private rooms deep-cleaned?
  • 4What specific protocols do you have in place to ensure medication is administered accurately and double-checked every time?
  • 5How do you handle medical emergencies or sudden changes in a resident's health during the overnight hours?
  • 6We really value staying connected; how do you typically handle communication and updates with families regarding their loved ones?
