Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given your 5-star CMS health inspection rating, what specific protocols or routines do you have in place to maintain such high standards of cleanliness and care?
  • 2With a 3-star staffing rating, could you explain how your team manages daily resident needs to ensure everyone receives the attention they require?
  • 3I noticed your team is very active in responding to feedback online; how do you typically incorporate family input into the daily care plan for a resident?
  • 4The activity staff receives great praise—what are some of the most popular daily activities that help residents feel connected and engaged here?
  • 5Since this is a smaller facility with 50 residents, how does that intimate size influence the way you handle medical emergencies or urgent care needs compared to larger homes?
