Elders are usually reluctant to leave their homes to move to assisted living, but in the right facility, many seniors perk up and thrive with the readily available socialization.
Here are some factors to consider and questions to ask when looking for a facility in which your loved one would thrive.
Accreditation
Is the facility accredited?
If there were any problems found in the past, have they been corrected?
You may need to speak to the facility's director to learn more about its accreditation, the process for accreditation, and how problems or improvements have been handled in the past.
