A useful tool to enable today's consumer to select the best of residential services provided to adul

"Everything You Need To Ask When Selecting An Assisted Living Facility" is a practical set of over 500 questions to consider when choosing an assisted living facility for an adult. The stated goal of the book is "to educate and therefore protect ...the elderly." After some introductory chapters which underline the importance of making an appointment when investigating any assisted living facility under consideration, the remaining 12 chapters are filled with helpful leading questions to ask with space for written responses line-enclosed around each question. This is a handy and useful design. Although some general observations are made about conclusions to be drawn from a facility's response or appearance, the general content of the reader's conclusions are left to each to interpret according to their outlook and information. Questions vary from "How many meals are included in the monthly rate" (p. 107) to "Do you provide phone service to the residents (p.82)?" Many other practical but less than obvious questions are included, such as "Will the Activity Director encourage the resident to participate in activities (p. 131)?" In summary, "Everything You Need To Ask When Selecting An Assisted Living Facility" is a useful tool to enable today's consumer to select the best of residential services provided to adults. It is clearly planned and created by experienced professionals in the field of senior services who share values of competent provision of the full array of services in elder care living.
