Did you know... ? The top ten considerations when choosing a residence for a senior citizen

1. Define your requirements and distinguish between wants and needs. Do you need a residence - or home health care services?
2. Where should the residence be located? Make sure it is proximate to friends and family; visitors are very important!
3. What is the demeanour of people currently at the residence? Visit at different times and on different days during the week.
4. Decide how much you can afford to spend. Cost varies depending on the type of provider. There may be wide variances in cost - and availability.
5. Review the residence's latest inspection report. What are the provisions for safety and ease of use?
6. What is the demeanour of residence employees and are they certified?
7. Tour the residence's kitchen and ask to review menus.
8. What type of activities does the residence run?
9. What type of amenities does the residence offer?
10. Arrange for a trial stay. Many residences permit overnight or short-term stay.
