Questions to Ask at an Assisted Living Tour

Assisted living communities are excellent homes for seniors who need a little support but still want to enjoy an active, independent lifestyle. Every assisted living community is different, so how can you be sure a community like The Gables is right for you? Learn what questions to ask at an assisted living tour, and you’ll make your choice with confidence.

What Makes a Community a Home?

There’s always plenty of information when you visit an assisted living community. While tools like community visit checklists can be helpful, it’s essential to focus on the unique aspects of the community that appeal to you or your loved one. What are the right questions to ask at an assisted living tour? It depends on what kind of community experience you’re looking for, but we’ve listed some basics below to help you get started.

What Will My Living Space Be Like?

We want you to love your new home. That’s why The Gables offers bright and modern apartments with a variety of floorplans. We even welcome pets!

How Will My Life Get Easier?

One of the best parts of assisted living is that it scratches numerous chores off your to-do list and gives you everything you need to thrive. Are you tired of cooking? Treat yourself to chef-made meals and snacks in our beautiful dining room. Are you exhausted by home management tasks? Let us take over with housekeeping services and maintenance whenever you need it. Do you need help with a daily task like dressing or medication management? Every resident gets a personalized care plan, so you can trust you’ll get the assistance you need.

Does the Community Have the Amenities I Want?

Because assisted living will give you hours of your time back each week, you’ll want to live in a community that helps you enjoy all that free time and make the most of your golden years. At The Gables, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of amenities that delight and support our residents. We have a busy calendar full of fun classes and events to keep residents engaged, as well as numerous social spaces where you can hang out with other like-minded seniors. Enjoy a leisurely walk through our manicured courtyards, or get some serious work done by visiting our on-site business center. No matter who you are, you’ll find the perks you want at The Gables.

What Kind of Care Is Available to Residents?

All residents have access to 24/7 care from our qualified nursing staff. However, for seniors with chronic or progressive health conditions, it’s important to explore the level of care available in the community. The Gables offers memory care for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia, respite care for those recovering from medical treatments, and skilled nursing for those who need more daily medical support. We can also provide transportation to medical appointments and other assistance in managing chronic conditions. Give us a call to learn more.
