Choosing the Right Assisted Living Home / Nursing Home in San Antonio
What to Consider:
There are number of things to consider. A good assisted living home / nursing home must offer the followings:
Do They Answer the Phone? Give them a Call.
Get in touch with each place on your list. Ask questions about how many people live there and what it costs. Some assisted living homes offer private or semi-private rooms. At Carol Ann’s Home, we offer both options. Find out about waiting lists too. Ask about the qualifications and read the reviews. Carol Ann’s Home is a family owned and operated assisted living home with 3 locations in San Antonio.
Schedule a Visit. Go see them in action.
Make plans to meet with the assisted living home director and look for the following:
- Handicap access
- Residents who look well cared for
- Warm interaction between staff and residents
- Is there a safe patio or garden where residents can walk safely? Health providers suggest poor access to gardens or outdoor space is significantly associated with symptoms of depression.
- Do Staff seem friendly and is there a right ratio of staff to residents?
