What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything.

Questions families ask

What should I do after a parent's first fall?

Treat it as a signal, not an accident -- a first fall is one of the strongest predictors of the next one. Get the cause investigated (medications, vision, inner-ear issues), fix the immediate environment, and ask CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions about equipment-lending programs.

What should I do right after a dementia diagnosis?

Slow down -- very little has to be decided the first month. Get the specific diagnosis type, since Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia progress differently, and put power of attorney and medical power of attorney paperwork in place now, while capacity is clear.

I live out of state. How do I manage my parent's care from a distance?

Build a plan that survives a bad-weather week when you cannot fly in. Recruit local eyes such as a Meals on Wheels driver or trusted neighbor, get medical power of attorney and HIPAA authorization in place, and establish one local point of contact, such as CICOA or a geriatric care manager.
