Questions to ask when you tour
Memory care programming specifics
With all 16 beds designated for memory care, ask what structured daily programming is in place and how staff are trained specifically for dementia care.
Staffing ratios at full capacity
A 16-bed facility running at full occupancy is a small environment — ask how many staff are on each shift and what happens when a staff member calls out.
Ownership and day-to-day management
The license was renewed in June 2025 under Darsea Holdings, LLC — ask whether ownership or leadership has changed recently and who oversees operations day to day.
Private pay versus other funding
The facility carries no Medicaid or Medicare beds in the state record; ask what payment options are accepted and whether private pay is the only path in.
Discharge criteria for advancing needs
Type B assisted living has defined limits on care complexity — ask at what point a resident's needs would require transfer to a higher level of care.
