Questions for Your Tour
- 1I noticed that your team is very active in responding to online feedback; how do you use that family input to improve daily operations and communication?
- 2Given that some families have expressed concerns regarding wait times for assistance, what is your current process for ensuring residents receive timely help when they call for a staff member?
- 3With the physical therapy department being a noted strength, how do you coordinate those sessions with the rest of a resident's daily schedule?
- 4I understand that maintaining personal belongings can be a challenge in a facility of this size; what systems do you have in place to track and protect a resident's clothing and personal items?
- 5Regarding the dining experience, what options are available if a resident finds the standard menu unappealing or has specific nutritional preferences?
- 6Since your CMS staffing rating is lower than your health inspection rating, could you explain how you manage staffing levels to ensure consistent care during peak hours?

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is courteous, knowledgeable and caring. He is happy and he has a wonderful jolly roommate who actually likes some of the same things.”
“A few times she rang the bell for assistance and waited for awhile but I realize why. There were other residents that needed more attention than my mom did and they are short staffed.”
“The walls were dirty they were people laying in beds in the hallway. They have no staff and my dad was there for 45 minutes laying in his urine and nobody came to help him”
