When it comes to choosing the right senior living community, it’s important to have as much information as possible. Whether you’re looking for independent living, assisted living, memory care, or another type of living community, it’s important to know exactly what to expect, and to make sure you’re getting the best for your money.

When you meet with a senior living community representative, there are seven key questions you should ask to make sure you’re getting the best possible care.

• What type of senior living community do you offer?
• What services are included in the monthly fee?
• Is there a waiting list to enter the community?
• What activities are available for seniors?
• What safety and security measures are in place?
• Is there a family and caregiver involvement program?
• What is the staff-to-resident ratio?

Knowing what services are included in the monthly fee, what activities are available, and what safety and security measures are in place will help you decide which community is right for you. It’s also important to ask if there is a family and caregiver involvement program, and what the staff-to-resident ratio is. By asking the seven questions outlined above, you can be sure you’re making an informed decision and getting the best possible care for your loved one.
