Questions to ask when you tour
Private-pay costs and what's included
With zero Medicaid beds on record, ask for a written fee schedule and exactly which services — meals, medication management, personal care — are bundled versus billed separately.
Memory-care staffing at 16 beds
All 16 beds are memory-care certified; ask how many dedicated staff are on each shift and what their dementia-specific training requires.
Admission criteria and care limits
Type B facilities may serve residents who need more assistance than Type A; ask at what point a resident's needs would exceed what Mercy House can provide and what the discharge process looks like.
License renewed in June 2025
The current license and memory-care certification both started June 1, 2025; ask what prompted the renewal cycle and whether anything changed in ownership, staffing, or physical plant at that time.
Waitlist and current occupancy
At 16 total licensed beds, capacity is very limited; ask how many beds are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist.
