A significant tool for caregivers searching for a skilled nursing facility? Your five senses.
Often unrecognized, our senses are hard at work gathering powerful information from our environment. Tapping into this when touring a facility can help you make informed decisions about which is the best fit for your loved one.
Whether you’re planning ahead or need to make an unexpected decision, this tip sheet from Pillar Stone Healthcare Company will help heighten your awareness by breaking down exactly what questions you should be asking yourself when selecting a skilled nursing facility.
For example, ask yourself:
- Is the curb appeal and grounds well-kept and is the facility clean?
- Are you greeted with unpleasant odors as you enter the facility?
- Are you hearing joyful sounds in the facility?
- And more
