Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing levels overnight

   Type B licensing means residents may need nighttime help — ask how many staff are on duty between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and what their training covers.

2. 2

   Current bed availability

   With only 16 licensed beds, the home can fill quickly — ask how many are occupied now and whether there is a waitlist.

3. 3

   Services included versus billed separately

   Ask for a written list of what the base monthly rate covers and which services — medication management, laundry, transportation — carry an added charge.

4. 4

   Memory-related care approach

   The facility holds no state memory-care certification; ask directly whether staff are trained to support residents with dementia and what that training consists of.

5. 5

   Administrator tenure and continuity

   Jana L. Gillis is listed as administrator — ask how long she has been in the role and who oversees operations when she is unavailable.
