Do have a family member that lives in an assisted living facility? Do you have friends who have their parents in board & care or assisted living community? Are you providing care to a parent or spouse in your home, or at a distance, and are you thinking it might be time to put them in a place where they can get more care. Perhaps a place where they can socialize with people their own age, or a place where they can be more active?
If you are, perhaps you would like to get some information about how those places they work? Are they worth the money? And you may be asking yourself, how can I get more information?
Well, there are many places to find information. First and foremost, you can talk to the facility that you have in mind. Or you can find out which ones are in your neighborhood and go take a tour. There are referral agencies that can give you information. You can call the Ombudsman’s office (look it up if you don’t know what that is), or you can call the Department of Social Services who licenses these care communities.
But if you have found this blog, then you are going to get information that you will find nowhere else. I am going to tell you the behind the scenes stories. I am going to tell you the secrets of the industry. Some of the information will be trivial, and others will be amazing. Everything will be covered, nothing will be held back. From the subliminal marketing techniques used on you the minute you walk in the door, to the behind the scenes dirt of what really goes on. You will get it all!
So stay tuned…or better yet…drop me a note and tell me your particular interests.
