Services: Senior living encompasses many things, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. As you look at communities, the levels of care offered will be vital in making a final decision. Also, does the community include care management, daily activities, housekeeping, laundry, medication management, transportation, or meals?

Atmosphere: Is the atmosphere of the community friendly and welcoming? Listen to feedback from residents and family members can be a good way to learn about another individual’s experiences. A great way to get a sense of the atmosphere is to visit a community’s social media pages.

Care: Talk to the staff at the community, are they well acquainted with all the residents? How is the staff-to-resident ratio? A knowledgeable team will also be able to advise you on the level of care you or a loved one may need if you are new to senior living. Safety and security are also important, remember to ask about their emergency procedures, and any specific care-related questions specific to you or your loved one.

Activities: Check the community activity calendar to see if there are a good variety of activities for residents to participate in every day. Look for well-rounded activities such as: exercise classes, themed parties, outings, card games, and trivia!

Leases & Payments: One of the most important factors is how you will pay for the community. Some communities offer month-to-month leases, while others will require a longer lease. Ask about what is included, and whether there are any added fees.
