Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Scope of care provided

   Type A licensing covers residents who can evacuate without staff help — ask which specific daily-living services are included and where the facility's limits are.

2. 2

   Role of the management company

   GHC LTC Management runs day-to-day operations under a separate ownership LLC — ask how decisions about staffing and care are divided between the two entities.

3. 3

   Capacity and current availability

   The facility is licensed for 32 beds — ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait time looks like.

4. 4

   What happens if care needs increase

   Type A facilities are not licensed for residents who need significant nursing oversight — ask at what point a resident would need to transfer to a higher level of care.

5. 5

   Handling of memory-related changes

   This facility has no memory-care certification — ask what the protocol is if a resident develops dementia or significant cognitive decline after move-in.
