16 Main Questions to Ask When You Call/Visit Assisted Living Facilities

We cannot avoid being skeptic or worse paranoid when choosing the right quality assisted living facility in Kanell Blvd. Poplar Bluff, MO. Tons of choices and misleading advertisements create this seemingly never-ending dilemma. But basically, you just need the following questions below to see and check if you are talking to the right people for assistance.

• What is your staff-to-resident ratio?

  The assisted living facility must never be understaffed. A typical 1-5 staff-to-resident ratio is good.

• What kind of experiences and trainings does your staff possess?

  Do some background checking on the staff who will take care of your love one/s. It is also much better to know the ins and outs of his/her personality over time.

• How many professionals are on duty overnight?

  The assisted living facility must have the enough amount of staffers who would stay overnight in the place for safety reasons, of course.

• Can staff administer medications?

  Check who can take care of the personal care and who will take care with the medical treatments. Together with the background check is their licenses to see if they are legally allowed to administer them.

• Do you have a nurse on staff 24/7?

  A licensed nurse had undergone more advanced trainings and examinations than the assistant staffers. Ask if how many licensed nurses are allocated.
