Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing ratios at 10 beds

   With only 10 licensed beds, ask how many staff are on duty during the day shift and overnight, and what happens when a caregiver calls out sick.

2. 2

   What Type B classification means

   Type B homes serve residents who need staff assistance to evacuate — ask how the facility handles fire drills and what its emergency evacuation plan looks like.

3. 3

   Ownership and day-to-day management

   The licensee is Access Harmony Group LLC with no listed management company — ask who oversees operations and how long the current administrator has been in this role.

4. 4

   Scope of care provided

   Ask which specific services — medication management, bathing, dressing, incontinence care — are included in the base rate and which cost extra.

5. 5

   Handling residents whose needs increase

   Small homes have limited on-site clinical resources; ask at what point a resident's care needs would exceed what this facility can provide and what the transition process looks like.
