Touring a senior living community is a meaningful step in choosing the right fit for your loved one. It’s your opportunity to explore the environment, meet the care team, and ask thoughtful questions that can help you feel confident in your decision.
At Brentwood Healthcare Center, we encourage families to ask open and honest questions. Below is a helpful guide to make the most of your visit.
Care & Medical Support
- What levels of care do you provide (assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing)?
- Can residents “age in place” and move into higher levels of care within the same campus?
- Are care plans personalized to each resident’s needs?
- How is medication managed and monitored?
- Is a nurse available on-site 24/7?
Staff & Safety
- What is your staff-to-resident ratio?
- How are team members trained, especially in dementia or medical care?
- What safety protocols are in place throughout the building?
Lifestyle & Activities
- What does a typical day look like for residents?
- What kinds of activities and wellness programs are offered?
- Are meals included, and how do you handle dietary needs?
- Can residents personalize their living space?
Family Involvement
- What are your visitation policies?
- Can family members join for meals, activities, or special events?
- Is it possible to attend a meal or activity before deciding to move in?
Cost & Contracts
- What is included in the monthly fee?
- Are there any additional charges for care or services?
- What does the move-in process look like?
Final Thoughts
Every community is different—and asking the right questions helps you find a place that not only meets your loved one’s needs today but can continue supporting them as their needs change. At Brentwood, we offer a full continuum of care on one campus, so residents can transition from assisted living to skilled nursing while staying in a familiar setting with a trusted team.
We invite you to schedule a tour, join us for a meal, and experience the Brentwood difference for yourself.
