A tour is the single most useful step in the senior living decision process. It answers questions no brochure, website, or review can about the staff, the engagement of residents, the culture of the community, and whether this place could genuinely feel like home.
The questions you ask on a tour help determine what you learn. Walking through beautiful common spaces
and meeting a friendly member of the community team aren’t enough to show you the full picture of what life in the community looks like. The questions below are designed to cut through the surface and get to what actually matters.
We’ve created this guide to help steer your conversation as you tour any community. Bring it with you, take notes in the margin, and ask every question on the list — not just the ones that seem most urgent at the moment. The answers you get, and the way they are given, will tell you a great deal.
