Choosing an assisted living facility is a big decision.
Here are BBB's tips for researching assisted living facilities and finding the best option for you:
*Ask a long-term care ombudsperson for advice. Find your state's long-term care ombudsman program for more information and track records about assisted living facilities in your area.
*Think about location. Facilities close to friends and families are often the best choice.
*Ask plenty of questions. Before calling assisted living facilities, consider the questions you must ask, as gathered from AARP
How many residents does the facility accommodate?
Are there units with private kitchens and bathrooms?
Are the rooms furnished?
What personal items can residents bring with them?
Are pets allowed?
What amenities are available to residents?
Are there personalized care plans for each resident?
How are additional services billed?
Are there doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, housekeepers, cooks, and activity directors on staff?
Does the facility run background checks on staff?
Can residents keep seeing their current physicians?
What happens if a resident's health deteriorates and needs additional care or a hospital stay?
What safety features does each residential unit feature?
What is the staff-to-resident ratio during the day and at night?
How often are rooms and common areas cleaned?
How often can family and friends visit?
Are all utilities included in the overall cost of a unit?
