A general checklist for any assisted living or residential care home. It is not medical or legal advice.
- Is the license current? Can I see the latest state inspection report and how any problems were fixed?
- What does the monthly fee include, and what costs extra (levels of care, help with medicines, laundry, transport)?
- How and how often are fees raised, and with how much notice?
- What help with daily activities is offered (bathing, dressing, medicines), and who gives it?
- How many staff are on duty during the day and at night? Is a nurse on site or on call?
- What happens if care needs increase? When would a resident have to move out?
- Is there a memory-care area for people with dementia, and is the home licensed for it?
- Does the home accept Medicaid (or a state waiver program), long-term care insurance or veterans’ benefits?
- How are medical emergencies handled, and which hospital is usually used?
- Can I talk with residents and families, share a meal, and visit at different times of day?
- What does the contract say about moving out, discharge and refunds? Ask for a copy to read at home.
