Questions to ask when you tour
Services included at base rate
Type A licensing covers residents who can evacuate without staff help — ask which specific personal-care services are included in the base monthly fee and what triggers an added charge.
Brookdale's role vs. the licensee
The state license is held by ESC III LP, not Brookdale directly — ask how decisions about staffing, care standards, and budgets are made between the management brand and the LP owner.
Current bed availability
The facility is licensed for 90 beds — ask how many are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist for preferred room types.
Administrator tenure and continuity
Deborah Fendley is listed as administrator — ask how long she has been in that role and who provides coverage when she is absent.
Pathway if care needs increase
Type A assisted living does not serve residents who require hands-on help with emergency evacuation — ask what the process is if a resident's mobility or cognitive status declines beyond what this license permits.
