6 Tips for Touring Senior Communities Virtually and In-Person
Are you thinking about moving into a senior community?
Finding the right community for you or a loved one will be one of the most important decisions you’ll ever have to make.
During a pandemic, it can be a challenge to get a tour scheduled in person. However, the senior communities you’re considering should be able to offer a virtual tour if that makes you feel safer and more at ease.
According to A Place for Mom, “No matter which touring method you choose, these tips can empower your family to transition to senior living with confidence.”
- Observe community layout and tone – Will it accommodate mobility challenges? Does the staff maintain the building’s cleanliness?
- Prioritize safety and security – How is the community secured? What medical services are available? How accessible is medical help?
- Assess staff friendliness, training and qualification – Is the facility and staff accredited? Do staff attend ongoing training? What’s the staff-to-resident ratio?
- Get to know the community’s social offerings – Do the residents seem social, engaged and happy? If you’re touring in person, consider visiting during a group activity to observe these interactions with residents.
- Consider next steps if care needs progress – In case a loved one’s condition advances, make sure the senior living community has steps in place to support them.
- Let your instinct lead you – Though questions and tips serve as a handy guide, they’re no substitute for your gut feelings.”
