WHEN DOES A PERSON NEED A LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY?

SHOULD I CHECK FOR LICENSES AND CERTIFICATES?

WHAT TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE SHOULD I LOOK FOR?

WHAT KIND OF CHECKLIST SHOULD I USE?


   

The atmosphere of a home is a vital consideration for you and your loved one. Look for a long-term care facility that treats residents like vibrant individuals and works to satisfy their emotional and physical needs. Be sure the home allows the resident to participate in planning their treatment.

Residents should have the freedom and privacy to attend to their personal needs. All residents should have the freedom and opportunity to make friends and to socialize.

Residents should be allowed to decorate their bedrooms with personal belongings and to wear their own clothing. Visiting hours should be generous and set for the convenience of residents and visitors.

Remember, real care and true compassion go hand in hand.
