How do I choose the right Assisted Living Community?
Familiarize yourself with the various services, amenities and costs for three to five assisted living communities, and tour those prospective communities. After you determine which assisted living communities meet your budget, you should seek the direct input of the person that is going to be the resident. We strongly recommend that before signing any agreements that you carefully review the agreement, affirm what is to be provided, and identify any and all costs that may be charged. Do not be afraid to ask plenty of questions during the tour and/or during the move-in process. Assisted Living Communities have to comply with rules and regulations for Personal Care Homes in the state of Georgia. The regulatory agencies responsible for enforcement routinely perform surprise inspections, and report their findings. These inspections cover many areas, including employee training hours, medication assistance records, fire drill logs, etc. The inspection reports are public, and can be accessed
