Choosing a retirement or senior living facility is a major decision that should not be made without carefully researching the options. You have to choose a residence that meets all your physical and social needs and provides all your expected comforts.
The questions below highlight some of the most important issues to think about. At Heartland Retirement PCH Inc, we're proud to say that we can answer "yes" to every one of these questions.
- Does a facility provide on-call around-the-clock licensed nurses?
- Does the monthly fee quoted to you include your room, personal care services, meals (including special diets and snacks), housekeeping and linen services, maintenance services, and medication management?
- Is a detailed care plan designed, reviewed, and updated for each resident?
- Does the facility provide onsite physical, occupational, and speech therapies?
- Do the administrator and director of resident care services conduct regularly scheduled meetings and communication with residents and their families?
- Does the staff know each resident by name?
- Is the staff orientation and training specifically designed for caring for living facility residents?
- Are the management and staff responsive to and helpful with your questions and needs?
- Is the facility part of a larger organization that has additional facilities and services to meet the needs of residents as their needs change?
- Is the facility licensed?
