Let's face it when you need some help and you're looking for the right professional you really need to know what questions to ask.s Today's expert will give you some great insight to help you make the best decision in no time.

Francis: I'm Francis Legasse, a certified dementia practitioner with Assured Assisted Living. I'm often asked, how do you go about finding the right assisted living? The problem is that finding the right assisted living can feel overwhelming and the good news is that it doesn't have to be difficult if you know what questions to ask. Searching for a great assisted living to suit you or your loved one’s needs can be challenging. Finding an assisted living that puts you or your loved ones first, makes it a home, and provide exceptional care can feel like a tough search. I'd like to give you a few tips in order to find a great assisted living.

Tip 1: Find out what their Area of Expertise is. You really want to make sure they are able to meet you, or your loved one’s level of care while making it a home. Talk to the staff and get a sense of how long they've been there.

Tip 2: Are they personable? Does the staff care? And are they able to help when you or your loved one need it most? Ask the staff why they do what they do. You'll feel much better about your decision if you find an assisted living that has approachable and caring staff.

Tip 3: Are they up on the latest techniques in person-centered care? You want to make sure they are professional and put you or your loved ones first. It is important to have a sense of purpose throughout your day, because in the end you are the most important resident. Our expertise is providing a staff ratio of one caregiver to every four residents, because in the end our residents need to have proactive care and shouldn't have to wait. We do this in a home environment where our residents are able to strive and have a sense of purpose. We believe it is a four-part approach of nutrition, engagement, environment, and care. We focus on helping residents reach their daily potential and engagement.
