Questions to ask when considering senior living

Every community will show you a beautiful dining room. These are the questions that tell you what life there is actually like, and what it will cost three years from now.

What is inside

  • Costs and contracts

    Total monthly cost today, what is billed separately, how much rates have risen in each of the last three years, and which contract terms are negotiable.

  • Care and staffing

    How care levels are assessed, caregiver ratios by shift, who is on site overnight, and the point at which a resident would need to move again.

  • Daily life and dignity

    What a typical Tuesday looks like, how a new resident is helped to settle in, and what happens when someone declines to participate.

  • Trust and track record

    Recent state survey results, leadership tenure, and speaking with two current families that you choose rather than the community.

Choosing a community is a care decision, and Eric partners with trusted senior-placement professionals who do exactly that. While they guide the community search, Eric handles the home and the move timeline. Start with the free 2-minute family assessment.
