Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Services included at base rate

   Type A licensure covers residents who don't need hands-on nighttime care — ask exactly which daily assistance services are included in the monthly fee and what triggers an added charge.

2. 2

   Current occupancy and waitlist

   With only 26 licensed beds, availability can shift quickly — ask how many beds are occupied today and whether a waitlist exists.

3. 3

   Staffing levels overnight

   Type A homes are not required to provide nighttime hands-on care — ask how many staff are on-site overnight and what their specific responsibilities are.

4. 4

   Memory care and cognitive decline

   Mallow Place holds no current memory-care certification — ask at what point a resident with progressing cognitive decline would need to transfer to a different facility.

5. 5

   Private-pay costs and rate increases

   No Medicaid beds are licensed here, so private funds cover all costs — ask what the current monthly rate is and how often and by how much rates have increased in recent years.
