It is often difficult to choose a skilled nursing facility for a loved one. Timing is almost always of the essence and families commonly do not know where to start. Some families need to find a short term placement for their loved one who may need therapy after an injury or surgery while others may be searching for a long term placement for more complex medical reasons. Determining which community would be the right fit for someone we care about is important so here are some helpful tips to consider when embarking on your next steps:
  • Tour the Facility to interact with the staff
  • Observe the residents and how the staff interacts with them
  • Assess the cleanliness of the community
  • Visit during a meal to view and sample the food being served
  • Take note of the engagement opportunities through the activities program and review a calendar of scheduled activities
  • Review recent state surveys to ensure quality of care is being delivered
  • Meet the leadership team and get to know the people who will be caring for your loved one
