A tour is your chance to understand daily life—not only the building. Take notes and visit more than once when possible.
Before the tour
Write down care needs, preferred location, budget and must-have features. Ask which suites are actually available.
During the tour
- Notice how staff and residents interact.
- Ask to see a sample suite and shared spaces.
- Review menus, activities and transportation.
- Ask how emergencies and changing needs are handled.
After the tour
Request written pricing, the residency agreement and a clear list of included and optional services.
