A senior living tour is an opportunity to understand what everyday life could look like for someone you love. Bring a short list of needs and preferences, take notes, and ask the same questions at each community so your family can compare the answers.
1. How do you assess each resident’s needs?
Ask who completes the assessment, what information is needed before a move, and how the team decides whether the community can meet the person’s needs.
2. What assistance is included?
Describe the help your loved one currently receives. Ask which services are included in the proposed plan and which require a separate arrangement or fee.
3. How does your Memory Care neighborhood work?
If you are exploring Memory Care, ask about the setting, daily routines, staff preparation, engagement, and how the team gets to know each resident.
4. What happens when needs change?
Ask how reassessments work, how changes are discussed with family, and what happens if a resident needs services beyond what the community provides.
5. What is dining like?
Look at a current menu and, when possible, visit during a meal. Ask how preferences and dietary needs are discussed before move-in.
6. What activities are happening this week?
Request the current calendar. Ask how residents choose activities and how the team supports people who prefer smaller groups or different interests.
7. Which suites are available?
Tour the actual accommodation type being considered. Compare private and companion options, included furnishings or services, and what families should bring.
8. How will our family communicate with the team?
Identify the main contact, how routine updates are shared, and how urgent concerns are handled. Ask about visits and family participation.
9. What is the full monthly cost?
Request an itemized written quote. Ask about community fees, care charges, optional services, deposits, and the circumstances that could change the total.
10. What are the next steps?
Clarify the assessment, paperwork, timing, availability, and move-in process. Ask for contact information so you can follow up after reviewing your notes.
