What Makes a Good Assisted Living Residence
We evaluate every assisted living residence we visit on several key factors:
- Staff-to-resident ratio: More staff means more personalized care
- Staff training and turnover: Consistent, well-trained caregivers provide better continuity of care
- Care flexibility: Can they increase support as needs change over time?
- Emergency response: How quickly do staff respond to call bells?
- Atmosphere: Does it feel warm and engaged, or clinical and isolated?
- Activities and engagement: Are residents stimulated and social, or sitting alone?
