The following checklist will be useful in evaluating assisted living residences during a visit. Remember the most important consideration is the individual's specific situation. Each resident has different needs, preferences, and desires that should be taken into account in choosing an appropriate residence. Although the value you place on any question is up to you, remember that you cannot change the resident to fit the facility. Select the residence that best meets the needs of the resident.
Staff Ask about the residence's practices and philosophy regarding staffing.
Observe staff and resident interactions.
