What to ask on a tour in St. George
Marketing directors are good at their jobs. These are the questions that actually surface differences between communities:
- Can I see your current license and most recent state inspection report?
- If you market memory care, can I see the SNALR certification? New York requires a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence certification for memory care, layered onto an ALR license -- ask to see it, not just a brochure claim.
- What is the all-in monthly cost at my parent's current care level? Ask for the care-level assessment tool in writing and where your parent would score today.
- How often have rates increased in the last three years, and by how much?
- What is the overnight staffing ratio? Not the daytime ratio — overnight is where families get surprised.
- What is caregiver turnover here?
- Do you hold a Medicaid Assisted Living Program (ALP) agreement, and how many current residents use it? New York's ALP (18 NYCRR Part 494) is the Medicaid pathway that pays for care inside a licensed community -- ask directly, since not every community participates.
- What happens if my parent's needs exceed what this license allows?
Go back unannounced at a different time of day before you decide.
