First, determine your needs. Most Health Services and Skilled Nursing communities offer both long-term health care and short-term rehabilitation/therapy services. If the need is for long-term care, you’ll want to be sure the surroundings are comfortable. The team members, food and recreation opportunities should all be high-quality. If the need is for rehabilitation, ask about the success rates in dealing with this particular diagnosis. Tour the building and the rehabilitation area using all your senses to make an assessment: Does it smell clean? Are the rooms and work areas cluttered? Are the team members and other residents noisy? How appetizing is the food? In what ways do the team members interact with residents? Do the other residents seem content? What kinds of activities are on the monthly calendar? Can you review a sample menu? These details will help you make a decision.
