Six Signs that You Chose a Good Community for Your Loved One If your loved one needs a senior living situation, you may want to explore the possibility of assisted living communities. Below, our team at Well Homed, a residential assisted living facility in Elkton, MD, discusses some of the other things you should look for when you are selecting an assisted living facility near you. 1. Appropriate Levels of Care When your loved one first needs assisted living, they may not need very much extra care, but that changes with age. 2. Appropriate Safety Features Prioritizing the safety of your loved one doesn’t mean they have to sacrifice their freedom. 3. Clean, Well-Maintained Buildings and Grounds While the state of an assisted living facility’s landscaping shouldn’t be your top priority, the environment reflects the facility’s resources. 4. Transparent Contracts Ask to look at a contract before you commit to enrolling your family member, and study it well. 5. Amenities That Match the Resident’s Needs Your loved one’s comfort and happiness should be your top priority. 6. Active, Friendly Residents When selecting an assisted living facility, don’t talk just to the staff. Talk to the current residents, too.. At Well Homed in Elkton, MD, we treat each of our assisted living residents like family and provide them with the assistance they need to live as independently as possible.
