Kelt,

When you check out homes, check with your (the state it is in) licensing agency for their most recent facility review, which will give all violations and corrections made by the facility. It is public info, so you will not have trouble obtaining the reports in a timely manner. You can get the telephone number from the facility license which should be posted in plain sight.

Ask for a list of menus from past months, find out flexability of meals and special diets, staff to clent ratio, a list of the past month's activities...do they provide rides to shopping, doctor appointments etc.

Also, be careful when bringing personal belongings to the home...anything of value will disappear very quickly...tis the nature of the beast. Take pictures, affix permenant labels, engrave things like televisions with name or identifying info.

There are exceptional care facilities, and there are exceptionally BAD facilities...since you will not be around to do daily checks, look deeper than they want you to see. I ran care facilities as a certified administrator for 16 years, and the stories i could tell you!
