Choosing an assisted living community can be a difficult decision, but following some general guidelines can help as you begin your search. Consider the following factors when evaluating a potential residence for your loved one:

• Atmosphere: Is the environment welcoming and homelike? Were you greeted warmly by the staff? Do the staff members interact with the residents and address them by name?
• Physical Features: Is the community designed to accommodate the needs of residents? Is the floor plan easy to navigate? Are the doorways, hallways, and rooms accessible for wheelchairs and walkers?
• Medication & Healthcare: Does the community have clear policies for storing and assisting with medications? Are staff members properly trained and supervised, with accurate record-keeping? Is self-administration of medication allowed?
