Before beginning, you must know and understand their care needs, finances, wants, and timeline for relocation. You will need to research available options carefully, ensuring that you are able to answer the most important questions on your/their mind about moving and the new residence. If you can, go on a tour, visit more than once at different times of day, try the food, consider a trial stay if the home allows it, and talk to residents and their family members - they are your best ambassadors and can tell you if the home is a place they enjoy living in, and if there have been any issues for them since they moved in. Listen to staff/resident interactions, observe the environment inside the home, and be aware of negative and positive aromas throughout the building. Consider downloading our Visiting Tips e-publication which will give you a ready made questionnaire of everything important to ask, and observe, when searching for, and touring, retirement residences or long-term care homes.
