Downtown/Mile Square specifically
Downtown families often prioritize proximity to a specific hospital system over neighborhood character, since several major systems have campuses within walking distance of each other here.
Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.
