Clifton specifically
Because of the SIR stop, Clifton is one of the easier North Shore neighborhoods for a family member without a car to visit regularly.
Who is actually on shift
Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.
Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
