Helpful Tips Before Choosing a Residential Care Home


Select a Residential Care Home Closest to Family

Being close to the residential care home would allow more frequent visits for your loved one, which has emotional benefits for their mental well-being and gives them a sense of security that you are nearby in emergencies.

Schedule an appointment to meet the provider

Visiting a residential care home is your time to meet the provider, discuss the services, and tour the home. The provider will ask for an assessment of your loved one to determine the level of care needed. If you think you might select a particular care home, plan on dropping in unannounced at least twice to observe the staff on how they provide meal service.

Speak with the residents without staff present

Ask the residents if they like the care they receive and how they like living there. Be observant and try to get a sense if you think your family member could be comfortable in the home and with the residents there.

Cleanliness and accommodations

Look for cleanliness and accommodations and ask if your room is shared or private and if there are enough bathrooms for everyone. Check the exits for easy accessibility and if they are well-lit, and inspect hallways and stairwells to see if they are clear of fall hazards and obstacles. Also, be sure to check for a 24-hour call response system.

Observe the interaction with residents and staff

You want to see that the staff treat the residents with dignity and respect. Residents' treatment plays a considerable role in determining their quality of life, and they should not appear withdrawn and depressed.

Don't be deceived by a perfectly beautiful home

Be aware that a beautiful-looking home can be deceiving. Your main concern should be good care by good staff. Some homes may look beautiful, but the Provider has little or no background in caring for elderly adults. Ask questions and do your research.

Ask to sample a meal served

Meals can be one of the few delights of the day for elderly residents. If the meals lack variety and are bland and not well thought out, this can affect their quality of life. Be sure to inquire about giving options for dietary needs and offering nutritious snacks. Observe if the servers are hospitable and polite. Do they need help with eating their food? Are they getting vegetables and fruits, and are they getting enough to eat? These are some observations that can have a significant impact.

Ask to see the most recent state licensing inspection survey

Every licensed facility will have an inspection by the state at least once a year, and most facilities will have violations from time to time. Many deficiencies can be for things that seem simple or insignificant, but the mere number of deficiencies may indicate a facility has real problems. Most importantly, you don't want to see violations of abuse, neglect, or violating residents' rights.
