as much as you can and listen

Finding a senior facility where your parents will be able to thrive and have all their needs met by professional and courteous staff can be difficult if you’ve never looked at that type of facility before. It can be easy to get distracted by the different packages and apparent benefits, but you’ll need to go deeper if you want to find a facility where your parents will truly feel safe and at home. Let’s take a look at a few tips that will allow you to find the perfect senior living facility for your parents.

Look at the Makeup of the Community and the Setting

Try to get a sense of the type of community you’re going to be putting your parents in during your first visit. You have to consider things like your parents’ level of activity, how social they are, and how much privacy they want. You also have to look at whether your parents would rather be in a natural setting, a suburban one, or if they’d rather live in the city.

If you live in New York, for instance, but you’d like to find a home where your parents will have a less stressful life and you will have easy access to them for visits, then an assisted living New Rochelle facility could be a good option. Assisted living facilities will go above and beyond to serve residents and will handle things like laundry, cleaning, and cooking for them too, so consider looking at a few around the city and see if one would be a good fit for your parents.

Look at their Health Needs

You should also check what special needs your parents may have as it will make a huge difference in which facility would be suitable for them. Some facilities will offer assisted and independent living, for instance, but will not have a memory care unit. These should be scratched off your list if you have a parent suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s. And, if they have a debilitating disease that they need assistance with most of the time, you may want to look at nursing facilities instead of regular senior homes.

Some questions need to be asked when interviewing senior home representatives to make sure that you will be getting a good deal. You need to ask questions about costs, and what type of activity and amenities they provide, but also ask questions about their staff.

A home that has a big revolving door will have difficulty building a true sense of community, and it can be disorienting and even scary for a senior to have to constantly deal with different carers. So, you have to make sure that they have a core group of employees that have been there for a good amount of time and ask a few questions about their screening and security protocols.

These tips should help you greatly in your search for a suitable senior living facility for your parents. Try to get them involved as much as you can and listen to their suggestions until you find something both of you will hopefully like.
