Many other families have been through the process already; below you will find advice to help you avoid assisted living search mistakes as you conduct your own search.
While you want to be optimistic about your loved ones health and capabilities, it is important to be realistic as you search for an assisted living facility.
You want to select a facility that can effectively provide for their current and future care needs, and you want to select the right facility the first time. Moving from one facility to another can be very emotionally and physically difficult for seniors, especially those with dementia, and can be quite a costly burden on your family.
Dont judge a facility based on its manicured lawns and high price tag. The look of the building or the community’s features are not an accurate indicator of the quality of care they provide or even if they have the capabilities to meet your loved ones care needs.
Take the time to look deep below the surface; speak with residents and staff about their satisfaction, and observe interactions between residents and caregivers. Also, be sure to find out if any complaints have been filed against the community.
Choose a community that is fit for your loved one, not for you. Think about what your loved one likes rather than choose a facility with amenities you enjoy. Involve your loved one in the process and consider their opinions of a community as you make a decision.
Finding out that someone you care about has been victimized and subjected to nursing home neglect or abuse is one of the most difficult experiences you can face.
However, the assistance of experienced nursing home abuse attorneys can be an asset.
