4. Prioritize High Standard of Care
In seeking a residence, pay particular attention to clinical procedures and technological innovations that are used daily in the community. You also want to be sure that staffing levels are consistent with high standards. Family members should get answers to these questions
- How will you respond if my "mom" has a medical emergency?
- How will you continuously monitor mom's condition without an unusual invasion of privacy?
- How will you monitor and deal with the possibility that my mom's condition may change?
- How would you describe how you staff the community 24/7 to provide the kind of care my mom will need?
- On average, about how many minutes per 24-hour day does a resident like my mom receive direct, hands-on assistance?
