Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing on nights and weekends

   With only 12 licensed beds, ask how many staff are on duty during overnight and weekend shifts and what happens if a caregiver calls out.

2. 2

   Services covered under the base rate

   Type A licenses cover residents who can evacuate without staff help — ask exactly which personal-care services are included in the monthly fee and what triggers an extra charge.

3. 3

   Handling increased care needs

   Ask what the process is if a resident's needs grow beyond what a Type A license permits, including how transitions are handled and how much notice families receive.

4. 4

   Operator's other properties

   Graceland Personal Care Homes, Inc. holds this license — ask how many other homes it operates and whether management oversight is shared across locations.

5. 5

   Hospital and emergency protocols

   Ask which hospital the facility coordinates with, how staff communicate with families during a medical emergency, and who holds medical power of attorney records on site.
