How do I choose an assisted living facility?

The most important factor when choosing an assisted living facility is that it feels friendly, safe, and comfortable to you. The facility you’ll be happiest at won’t necessarily be the most fancy or expensive. The bottom line is that the right facility for you is the facility where you feel most at home. In choosing our staff we place utmost importance on their ability to connect with residents so that our residents feel at home and secure.

There are many websites that offer suggestions to help you choose an assisted living facility, but nothing takes the place of word of mouth. Talk with friends and family members who have had experience in choosing an assisted living facility. Your physician can be an excellent source of information. If you visit several assisted living facilities, spend time talking with the residents and staff. All facilities should welcome your visits and questions.
