Finding the right assisted living facility can be challenging for families. Once you find a potential place, knowing what questions to ask or how to evaluate it can be overwhelming. It’s crucial to ask questions and gather information about the facility. Touring the facility can provide insights that phone calls often miss. Walking through the halls, meeting the staff, and seeing daily life firsthand can give you a clear sense of what’s in store for your loved one. But how do you get the answers you need to make an informed decision? By asking the right questions! Here’s a guide to touring an assisted living facility like a pro.
