When interviewing potential assisted living facilities, it’s a good idea to have a standard list of questions to ask each one so you can make relevant comparisons. This may include:

1. What levels of care does this facility offer? What abilities and degrees of self-sufficiency are required of residents? What happens when these abilities change?

2. Do you conduct an initial patient health assessment before admission? How often are assessments repeated? Are they written and available for the family’s review?

3. What is your staff-to-resident ratio during the day? At night?

4. Is a nurse on-site around-the-clock? Does a physician regularly visit the facility? How are medical emergencies handled?

5. Who administers medications? How is this information recorded? Can family members review these records at any time?

6. What experience and training does your staff possess? Is ongoing training required?

7. What type of apartments or living units are available? Is there a waiting list? What is the estimated time before you can accept a new resident?

8. What is the monthly cost? Do you have a written list of what’s included and which services cost extra? Could additional fees be assessed?

9. What are your billing and payment policies? What is your discharge policy?

10. How often is the facility assessed? By what organizations? Are the findings made available to families as a matter of course?

Other Considerations

• Is the facility attractive, in excellent repair, and clean—inside and out?

• Is the staff friendly? Were you welcomed when you arrived? Do the staff and the executive director address residents by name? Are interactions between the staff and management professional? Are employees warm toward the residents? Do they greet you as you tour?

• May you visit residents any time you like?

• Is the food attractive? Does it taste good? Are families permitted to review the menus?

• Are the residents happy? Do they appear to have excellent care from staff? Do they interact and seem to enjoy each other's company?

• Are you comfortable here? Do the staff and residents seem comfortable? Does it seem like a good "fit"?

Visit each facility at different times—during activities and mealtimes, for example—and seek feedback from residents and their families.

Today's low interest rates are driving home affordability. Let's connect to discuss how buying a home may be a great move for you this year. Contact me at 602-753-0177 to discuss buying or selling your home.

Have you been out to see the builder model homes lately? You may notice that builders load tons of upgrades into the model homes. The builders know that the look and feel of the home is super important to the buyer and if they get the buyer’s excited about the possibilities, then it will lead to more sales. As a homeowner and a potential seller someday down the road, getting the buyers excited about your home will lead to a higher sales price! If you make a few upgrades to your home now, you will also get to enjoy the changes before you move. Now, don’t overspend on your improvements, but here are a few that can make a huge difference when you sell.

• Kitchen – The kitchen is where improvements go a very long way. New cabinets, countertops, and appliances will add a lot of value. Don’t feel like you need to turn your kitchen into a gourmet kitchen! There are a lot of ways you can update your kitchen to the current trends and stay on a budget. Keep in mind that giving your kitchen a cohesive contemporary look is the best way to add value to your home. 
• Landscaping – If your yard is feeling more like a jungle or desert than a place where kids would like to play, then it might be time to make a few changes! Whether you like desert landscaping or something a little greener, color and cleanliness is the key. Buyers are always looking for a yard that is well kept, but that will also be fun to hang out in after work. Putting in a handful of plants will go a long way to dressing up your front or back yard. If a buyer can picture outdoor living and nightly barbecues, then you are on the right track
• Flooring – Updating your flooring is a great way to get a completely new feel throughout your home. New carpet, new tile floors or hardwood floors can make a home feel newer and it will appeal to younger buyers.
• Paint - Without a doubt, a new coat of paint on the walls goes a long way to refreshing a home. Stay away from colors that are too bold and stick with colors that are more neutral. Earth tones and two-tone paint styles are the trend lately and appeal to younger buyers.  
• Bathrooms – In bigger homes, the master bathroom is a great area to look at spending more of your upgrade budget. However, in smaller homes, it can be hard to get your upgrade dollars back in bathroom remodels. As you look at remodeling your bathrooms, light and water fixtures are a great way to spruce up the area without overspending.
