I spent years inside senior living, watching what gets shared on tours and what gets left out. The rooms? They’ll walk you through those. The menu? Always part of the conversation. But the details that shape your parent’s experience? You usually have to ask for those yourself. Try asking: 🔸 “How many residents does each caregiver support during the day? Evenings? Overnight?” 🔸 “And when someone starts needing more help, how do you decide it’s time to adjust staffing? What’s the tipping point?”

The Gen Z Senior Living Tour by @mrc.seniorliving 🤭 | Senior Living Stories

When touring a senior living community, it's easy to get distracted as you meet new people and discover the lifestyle and amenities that the community has to offer. That's why it's important to bring a list of questions on your tour. Whether you want to know about pet policies or what happens if you potentially need a higher level of care, having a visual reminder of your questions can help you get the answers you need to make the best decision for you. | Brookdale Senior Living
