How to Find an Assisted Living Facility for a
Senior
2
Understand the differences in types of facilities

• There is a big difference between a nursing home,
  which provides around the clock skilled nursing
  care, and an assisted living facility, which
  offers assistance with daily tasks while still
  allowing seniors to retain some independence.
• The services provided and costs incurred vary
  depending on the type of facility you choose.

3
Calculate what you can afford

• Determine what you can afford so you can decide
  if prospective facilities fit into your budget.

4
Determine what services are needed

• It's important to know what help or services
  your senior loved one will need when choosing a
  senior citizen living facility. Make a list of
  the most important services, including medication
  assistance, incontinence care, dressing, meal
  help and physical therapy and exercise, so you
  can keep them in mind when reviewing facilities.

5
Meet the staff

• Meet with nurses and staff members who interact
  with facility residents to get a feeling for the
  atmosphere of the facility.

6
Take your senior loved one with you

• It's important that your senior loved one feel
  safe and content at the assisted living facility
  you choose for them, so take them with you when
  you visit potential facilities.
• Give them a tour of the bedrooms, activities
  areas and grounds so they can offer their
  opinions.

7
Check out standards and reviews

• Assisted living facilities are held to state and
  federal regulations of sanitation and resident
  care. A quality facility will have these records
  readily available to prospective residents.
  Review them carefully and note how frequently the
  facility is inspected and whether there have been
  any emergency inspections or complaints against
  the facility.

8
Talk to current residents
Meet with some of the facility's residents and
ask them what they think of the facility.
9
Ask about medical procedures

• Find out what guidelines are in place for staff
  to follow in case of emergency medical
  situations, or for routine medical issues such as
  incontinence or high blood pressure readings.
• Staff should be able to tell you how medical
  issues are handled for residents.
