8.  Get Several Detailed, Objective Inputs

Always get a balanced perspective about life in a community you’re considering by talking to the professional staff, current residents’ family members, and the residents themselves.  Ask about a typical day and how staff are involved.  Ask about oppportunities for social interaction.  Most importantly, ask current residents and their families:

  • How do you currently feel about your earlier move-in decision?
  • How did you work through the complex decision-making process?
  • What were the biggest hurdles you overcame before you actually made the decision?
  • If you knew then what you know now, what would you do differently?

Getting inside the minds of residents and their families will help you decide whether the particular community is a good fit.
