What to Look for in a Senior Living Care Team
As you’re choosing a senior living community, factors like location and proximity to family and friends will play a role. Additionally, you should expect a high level of integrity, expertise, and customizability from your senior living care team. Here are some other important factors to consider as you make your decision.
Great Communication
You should feel like all of your questions are answered and your concerns heard by your senior living community. As you’re having initial conversations with your options, pay close attention to their communication style. Afterward, ask yourself the following questions:
- Was the team easy to reach?
- Did they answer all of the questions clearly?
- Were they friendly and welcoming?
This will give you a good idea of how communicative the team will be with you and your family once you move in as a resident.
A Positive Atmosphere
It’s vital to visit your senior living community options before making a choice. During your visit, you’ll be able to get a sense of the atmosphere there. Do people seem generally cheerful? Is there plenty of natural light and attractive interior design? Are residents socializing around the grounds?
The community’s atmosphere can make a big difference in your quality of life.
A Staff That Goes Above and Beyond
The right senior living staff should want to do more than just meet their residents’ needs; they should aim to surpass them as well. When you’re visiting senior living communities, ask your tour guide how their team goes above and beyond for the individuals they care for.
Extra attention to detail, highly customized care plans, and friendly relationships between residents and staff should be the norm.
A Meaningful Mission
When a senior living community has established a mission, it gives all of its team members a greater sense of purpose on the job. Explore the mission statements of your senior living community options to determine which one you identify with the most.
