5 Things to look for when Researching Senior Living Communities

Researching Senior Living Communities for you or a loved can be time consuming. Having worked in Senior Living Sales for 10 years, at 11 different Senior Living Communities, as well as serving as a Senior Living Advisor for over 4 years, I have gained knowledge on what one should look for when considering which option is best for them. Here are 5 things to assist in your search: Friendliness of staff and residents – Do not base your decision off solely of your interaction with the sales person. If other staff introduces themselves to you it is a good indicator that they will be friendly when you live there. Activities – Look at the activity calendar before the tour. See if the activity(s) are being lead and how well attended they are. Meals – Food choices, quality, nutrition and socialization will improve your overall health and well-being. Resident Satisfaction – If I were to recommend one thing to do before deciding on a community, it would be to speak with as many residents as possible. Staffing Ratios – Pay attention to how many caregivers you see during your tour.
