Questions to ask
Care availability, rates, and services change. Confirm every important detail directly and involve qualified medical, legal, or financial professionals when appropriate.
- Which levels of care are available on campus?
- What contract types, entrance fees, and monthly fees apply?
- How are transitions between care levels handled?
Before making a decision
- Confirm California licensing, inspection history, current availability, and all fees.
- Discuss care needs, mobility, medications, communication preferences, and emergency planning.
- Visit in person when possible and observe staff interactions, cleanliness, meals, and daily routines.
- Review contracts carefully and ask how needs or costs may change over time.
